1652 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, three-unit building at 1652 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Muzaffar Bhutta, has a notable history of pest management challenges over recent years. According to records, the property underwent multiple rodent control interventions between 2021 and 2022, with consistent bait applications occurring approximately nine times from September 2021 through December 2021, followed by additional bait applications in early 2022.

A rat sighting complaint in December 2020 prompted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene involvement, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with pest management, as evidenced by repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding incomplete bedbug reporting requirements. However, the most recent documentation shows significant improvements in both bedbug and rodent management.

The building's bedbug reports for the filing periods of 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 indicate no reported infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While the rodent issue appears to have been addressed successfully, with no reported activity in recent inspections or complaints, it's worth noting that the building's historical records show consistent monitoring and treatment efforts between 2021-2022. The current status as of 2025 suggests that while the building faced significant pest challenges in previous years, recent reports show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and no active pest issues, indicating a marked improvement in building maintenance and pest management protocols.
