369 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 369 Crescent Street in Cypress Hills, owned by George Khan, has a significant history of pest-related issues and building code violations since 2019. The most recent concern involves an ongoing rat sighting complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in April 2020, which remains in progress as of 2025. Between 2019 and 2020, the building experienced multiple pest-related complaints, with some resulting in Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly involving rat infestation in Apartment 1FLOOR that was documented through a June 2020 inspection.

The property faced more serious issues in early 2019, when inspectors observed unauthorized construction work in the attic, including the installation of partitions, bathrooms, and a cooking area, leading to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations with penalties totaling $4,562. These violations were eventually resolved, though not without an associated history of non-compliance citations. The building's rodent management history shows some progress, with a compliance inspection in December 2021 resulting in a "Passed" status, following earlier inspections in 2012 (Passed) and 2021 (Rat Activity).

The property has also undergone various permitted renovation activities, as evidenced by plumbing and electrical work permits issued in May 2019. Multiple inspection attempts in 2019 regarding the pest complaints were either not completed due to access issues or resulted in no violations being issued. While some violations remain in the historical records, with appropriate resolutions, the building's persistent pest issues and prior unauthorized modifications suggest a pattern that required multiple interventions from housing authorities.
