59 Hale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 59 Hale Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Wen Qing Chen, has experienced recurring pest control challenges over the past several years, particularly with rodent sightings and mobile food vendor issues. Most recently, in March 2025, a rodent complaint was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and resulted in a passed inspection.

This followed a pattern of rodent-related complaints in 2023-2025, though all inspections during this period passed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports of affected units between 2020 and 2024. The building, constructed in 1910, has had several maintenance issues documented in 2018, including plumbing and electrical emergencies, though these were promptly addressed and closed within days.

Both 2022 and 2024 saw complaints regarding potential illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, but in both instances, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Notably, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2018, with only two initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons" in September 2018 and July 2022, though these were followed by passing compliance inspections. The building's documented history shows regular oversight and inspection responses, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 confirming no current violations.
