This three-story, six-unit 1915 tenement building located at 114 Crescent Street in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, currently owned by Pedro Nomberto, has experienced numerous maintenance and pest control challenges over the past couple of years. The property has ongoing issues with waste management, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and service requests between 2023 and 2024 related to garbage/recycling storage. Notably, there are eight open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of September 2024 concerning improper waste receptacles and accumulation of refuse in both the front yard and east yard areas.

The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with eight rodent-related inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing various levels of activity, including recent rat sightings and violation orders from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The most recent inspections as of September 2024 show some progress, with an initial inspection resulting in a "Passed" status, though previous inspections indication rat activity and failure to comply with regulations. The property has had several maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with doors and security features documented in September 2024 violations, which mention defective self-closing doors and latch sets at the building's entrance.

Furthermore, there are two outstanding Department of Buildings violations from 2020 and 2023 regarding unfiled boiler inspection reports. While some inspections have resolved through compliance actions, the building continues to have open violations as of 2024, particularly concerning waste management and rodent control, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining property standards and resident living conditions.
