65 Glen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit building at 65 Glen Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Rakel Chacra and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing struggle with pest control, particularly rodents, with multiple inspections in 2023-2024 showing evidence of rat activity, though a "passed" compliance inspection was conducted in July 2024. The property has also faced challenges with bedbug management, though recent filings from 2022-2023 show no infested units.

Between 2019 and 2021, the building accumulated several violation notices, including three consecutive annual violations (2019-2021) for failing to file bedbug reports, and multiple citations in 2019 for inadequate safety signage regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. A significant concern was raised in 2019 regarding illegal occupancy and unauthorized partitions in the cellar, though there is no record of resolution. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive management, with multiple rounds of rodent bait application in 2023 and 2024.

While several violations from 2019 were eventually closed, including those related to safety signage and window guards in Apartment 1F, the persistent nature of rodent issues and the timing of the most recent violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 indicate no current infestations, though the building previously faced challenges in this area. The records also show the issuance of multiple permits in 2018 for work on the property, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available data.
