2149 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11223

2149 Coney Island Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1932 in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood, currently owned by Sanija Redzematovic. The building has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, particularly in 2021, when there were two recorded rat sightings (in April and July) that prompted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections, though only one resulted in a violation.

The property attracted particular attention during 2022-2023 for failing to file its annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, though the most recent bedbug filings (dating from February 2024 and December 2024) show no infestations or eradicated units. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture: while initial inspections in June 2021 and September 2021 passed, a July 2015 initial inspection showed rat activity, though this was addressed by a subsequent compliance inspection in August 2015, which passed. More recently, the building appears to have maintained better compliance with health and safety regulations.

The no-violation finding from the health inspection following the July 2021 rat sighting, combined with the property passing four consecutive bedbug report filings from 2021-2024 showing zero infestations, suggests improvements in pest management practices. The bi-annual bedbug reporting requirement, which generated two violations in 2022-2023, has been successfully maintained in the most recent filings. The building remains classified as a "New Law Tenement" under NYC Housing Code classifications, which triggers specific regulatory requirements including the annual bedbug reporting obligation.
