438 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 438 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Jean Dumas and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has maintained a consistent record of pest-related challenges over the past decade. Most notably, the building has experienced persistent bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from May 2025 documenting a complete cycle of infestation across all four units between November 2023 and October 2024, followed by similar patterns in the previous year (2022-2023).

These recurring infestations prompted annual Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2023, all related to the failure to file required bedbug reports, though these violations have been marked as closed. The building's history also includes rodent control challenges, with inspections in late 2016 (October and December) resulting in failures for unspecified reasons.

While the property has shown some progress in pest management, evidenced by the "eradicated" status in recent bedbug reports, the recurring nature of these infestations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining a pest-free environment. The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 indicates that all previously infested units have been treated, though they were documented as re-infested, suggesting potential limitations in long-term eradication success.
