296 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Situated in South Slope, 296 12th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Brent Whitson. The building has been facing recurring compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules.
In mid-2023, the property was also cited for failing to file its External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for both 2018 and 2019, though these violations were subsequently dismissed in August 2023. The building's inspection history shows one instance of a Department of Buildings complaint in 2018 regarding a permit issue, which was closed due to an inspector being unable to gain access on the second final attempt.
Interestingly, the property passed rodent inspections in both July and August of 2015, suggesting some attention to pest control prior to the current bedbug reporting violations. While there have been several violations documented over the years, most notably regarding pest reporting compliance and low-pressure inspection filings, the building has not accumulated any serious health or safety violations that would directly impact resident safety since 2015.
