1009 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 1009 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Manpreet Bhasin, has a documented history of rodent-related issues spanning several years. Most notably, during a concentrated period from mid-2021 through late 2022, there were multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with eight consecutive inspections during this period consistently revealing rat activity.

The building, constructed in 1899, is a three-story structure that has undergone various inspections since 2020. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 noted rat activity, while the previous inspection in April 2024 showed a passing result.

Throughout this timeframe, there appears to be only one documented instance where the property passed inspection without any violations (June 2020), though the property did have inspections in July 2020, September 2022, and December 2021 that also showed rat activity. Interestingly, a bedbug report filed in April 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting no bedbug problems were present during that reporting period. While the building has undergone regular inspections and received some pest control intervention (as evidenced by a bait application in January 2022), the recurring pattern of rat sightings and activity throughout 2021-2022 and continuing into 2025 presents an ongoing pest management challenge for the property.
