1607 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 4-unit residential building at 1607 Quentin Road in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Ester Pinchevsky and constructed in 1923, has experienced persistent compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The property has received four Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent open violations recorded in April 2023 and April 2024.

These violations suggest difficulties in meeting mandatory pest management documentation requirements, though the bedbug reporting history shows no actual infestations occurred during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units recorded in both filings. More recently, the building has faced challenges with rodent activity, as documented in two inspections in 2024, conducted in June and August, both of which noted rat activity on the premises.

These findings indicate emerging concerns about pest management beyond bedbugs, potentially impacting resident comfort and building maintenance conditions. While the building's documented violations have typically been related to administrative compliance rather than direct resident safety issues, the recent rodent activity inspections warrant attention as they represent a new category of pest management challenge for the property.
