1187 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, three-story building at 1187 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Yizhaq Benshabat, has experienced several notable pest-related issues since 2023. Most recently, in December 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspected the property in response to a rodent complaint and found no violations, passing the inspection.

Earlier in 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) addressed a pest-related unsanitary condition complaint, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property, resulting in the closure of that complaint. Notably, there are two open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, one from 2024 and another from 2021, which could indicate non-compliance with reporting requirements. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance in the filing of reports between 2019 and 2023, with all reporting periods showing zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infested units.

This suggests effective management of bedbug issues when they did occur. Following recent pest complaints, the building has undergone both rodent and bedbug inspections in 2023-2024, with the most recent rodent inspection in December 2023 resulting in a passing grade. While there have been multiple pest-related complaints, including rodent and unsanitary conditions, both recent rodent inspections and bedbug reports indicate successful remediation and management of these issues when they arise.
