601 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

601 Liberty Avenue is a three-story, three-unit building located in East New York, constructed in 1945 and currently owned by Wenshang Li. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple reports of rodent and insect infestations between 2021 and 2024, including a concerning trend of rat activity noted in inspections from December 2023 and February 2024.

The building faced significant maintenance challenges in 2022, particularly in Apartment 3, which experienced multiple violations including unsanitary conditions, pest infestations, plumbing issues, and various repair needs such as peeling paint, a defective intercom system, and floor problems. While there have been intermittent rodent and pest issues, the building's recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) indicate no current infestations, with previous units being marked as eradicated. The building underwent some troubling incidents in 2019, including complaints about building stability and electrical issues, though these were ultimately resolved.

Regulatory compliance has shown improvement, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 showing no current infestations and the three previous units having been successfully eradicated. The property has regularly filed its annual bedbug reports as required, with the most recent inspection in 2024-02-02 showing rat activity, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. While many previous violations have been resolved, the building's history suggests periodic maintenance and pest management challenges that have required multiple interventions by housing authorities.
