325 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

At 325 Sumpter Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building built in 1907 has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Between February and April 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly involving pests and mold, with violations issued for two separate pest-related incidents in April 2025.

The building has also faced some basic maintenance challenges, including problems with door frames, window frames, and various electrical issues, though these were generally not found to violate housing laws. Notably, violation notices from the Department of Buildings indicate an ongoing issue with low pressure inspection filings, with active violations issued in 2023-2024 for failing to submit required inspections. The building's history shows a persistent pest management challenge, particularly in Apartment 1L, which has documented violations for both roach and mice infestations as of 2024.

The unit has also experienced various maintenance issues, including problems with a bathroom sink waste line, kitchen cabinet, bathroom tiles, and door lock, though most of these violations were certified as closed by October 2024. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections when conducted in 2023 (May 29), 2024 (April 13 and July 26), suggesting improvements in pest control efforts, despite the recent resurgence of pest complaints. The building's bedbug report history shows no recorded infestations since 2019, and all pest-related complaints in 2025 were specifically about other types of pests rather than bedbugs.
