271 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

271 Sumpter Street, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is a three-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Alphonso Smith. The building has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past four years (2021-2024), with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

This pattern suggests ongoing non-compliance with documentation requirements, though it's worth noting that these violations are administrative in nature. The building did have two significant safety violations in October 2020 related to Apartment 3FL, including issues with a defective self-closing door and a problematic key-operated lock on a fire escape door, though these violations were properly certified as corrected by July 2022. The property underwent a rodent inspection in November 2016, which it passed, indicating no rodent-related issues at that time.

A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in September 2023, which was investigated on November 30, 2023, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. While the building's documented history shows some concerning patterns of regulatory non-compliance, most violations are related to administrative procedures rather than direct tenant safety issues. The property should be monitored for future compliance with housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting.
