341 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

341 East 8th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Kensington, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Helen Alexander. The property has experienced several notable events regarding pest management and maintenance compliance over the past few years. Most significantly, there has been an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing annual violations for failure to file the required bedbug reports, though no actual infestations were reported during these years.

The building's most recent bedbug report for the period November 2023 to October 2024, filed in May 2025, documented zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. In terms of rodent activity, the building has had mixed results, with recent inspections showing both passing and troubling results. Most recently, in February 2024, the property passed a compliance inspection, but just prior to that, in December 2023, rat activity was detected during an initial inspection.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) received a rodent complaint in 2021, which was investigated and resulted in a passing inspection with only minor violations noted. The building was issued an exterior work permit in November 2022 (Job No. 340873077), though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. While the property has had its share of pest-related challenges, the most recent inspections and reports indicate a current absence of both bedbug and rodent issues, though the building has required regular attention to maintain compliance with health and safety regulations.
