1204 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 1204 Nostrand Avenue, owned by Jerry Atkins, has demonstrated concerning pest control challenges over the past several years. Most notably, between 2021 and 2022, the building underwent a bedbug reporting period during which no infestations were recorded in any dwelling units.

However, more recent inspections have revealed persistent rat activity, with four documented incidents in 2023 alone, including both initial and compliance inspections between January and July. This pattern suggests an ongoing rodent infestation problem, as evidenced by the same inspection result across all four 2023 evaluations.

The building's history shows a notable improvement in pest control management from 2019, when the property passed a compliance inspection, marking a temporary resolution to rodent concerns that had first appeared in an initial inspection that same year. Earlier records from 2011 indicate successful pest management at that time as well. The most recent rodent activity pattern suggests that while the building initially had periods of successful pest control in the earlier 2010s and 2019, there has been a significant resurgence of rodent activity over the past two years.
