116 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 10-unit, 3-story building at 116 East 19th Street in Flatbush, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yida Stern, has experienced persistent pest-related issues throughout 2025. Most recently, multiple complaints in June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for inspection.
The building has recorded several rat sightings in 2025, with both DOHMH and HPD being involved in investigations. Earlier housing code violations indicate significant maintenance challenges, including documented infestations of mice, roaches, and flies throughout Apartment 1B in late 2024, along with various building maintenance issues such as a missing shower head in Apartment 2A, and concerns about fire door functionality and fire escape access. The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts in 2024-2025, with regular bait applications recorded between September 2024 and February 2025, and inspections revealing rat activity as recently as July 2025.
Other maintenance matters have included plumbing and water supply issues (January 2025), ceiling concerns (February 2025), and violations related to fire safety equipment. The property has had documented problems with its boiler system in early 2024, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. While the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (2020-2024), the persistent rodent and pest control efforts suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest management.
