564 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
564 East 4th Street is a 28-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building in Kensington, built in 1921 and currently owned by Brenda Geller. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues over recent years, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2024-2025 showing rat and mouse activity, though most recent inspections indicate improvements with the latest inspection in July 2025 passing successfully.
The property has a history of various maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2024, including a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, plumbing issues, and water leaks. These triggered several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting the 4th story public hall and apartment 2E, which experienced rodent infestations and required various repairs including fire retardant material and plaster surface replacements.
The building underwent multiple rodent control treatments and inspections in 2024, with bait applications noted throughout the year. More recent records (2025) show the building's progress in addressing these issues, including successful inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and no active bedbug infestations reported since 2019. Previous complaints regarding electrical issues, plumbing problems, and various other maintenance concerns appear to have been resolved, though there have been repeated instances of inspection access issues noted in complaint records.
