208 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
208 Sumpter Street is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Shimon Sabah. The property has experienced several maintenance and public health issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to pest control and hygiene compliance. Most notably, there are three open Class A violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
The building has also encountered rodent issues, with documented rat activity in 2023 and an HPD complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage in 2024, though no violations were issued following inspection. The building has a history of various maintenance complaints, most of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during 2021, including issues with doors, walls, plumbing, and mailbox systems - none of which resulted in violations. An apartment heat/hot water complaint from 2018 was notable as inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.
Other historical violations that have since been resolved include a 2017 termite infestation in Apartment 6, as well as several 2018 violations related to required safety and informational postings in common areas regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detectors, building registration, and housing information guides. The most recent building activity includes a rat inspection in May 2023 that confirmed rodent activity, and an unsanitary condition report in January 2024 related to garbage/recycling storage, which took several months to resolve. While many past issues have been addressed, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent activity suggest continued challenges with building maintenance and compliance with housing regulations.
