98 Pilling Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located at 98 Pilling Street in Bushwick, owned by Mary Carter, has an extensive history of both maintenance requirements and pest management challenges. Most notably, there is an ongoing and concerning pattern of Open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024, and similar violations occurring annually since at least 2021.

The building's pest management history shows significant rodent activity in the past, particularly between 2018-2019 when multiple inspections indicated rat presence, though recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions. The property has experienced several Department of Buildings complaints regarding construction activities, particularly during late 2022, with three separate complaints filed about purported violations of approved plans and permits, though inspections generally found no warrant for violations or resulted in inability to gain access.

A separate gas utility-related complaint from 2021 also resulted in an access-related inspection outcome. It's worth noting that while the building has had multiple rodent-related inspections in the past, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating some progress in pest management. The building's age (constructed in 1905) and history of both bedbug reporting violations and rodent activity suggest that while there have been improvements, maintaining current conditions may require continued attention to both pest management and regulatory compliance.
