75 Somers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, two-family residential building at 75 Somers Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Eli Maor and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a rat sighting reported, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection.

Earlier, in January 2023, a pest-related complaint was investigated by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found at that time. The end of 2018 marked a period of multiple inspections and complaints, including issues with pests, heat/hot water problems, and a water leak. Specifically, as of January 2019, there were open violations in the third-floor apartment related to bedbug infestation, water leakage, and damaged plaster surfaces that have yet to be resolved, according to the Housing Maintenance Code Violations records.

The building's inspection history shows consistent rodent control compliance, with successful inspections in 2017, 2018, 2020, and most recently in July 2024. A bedbug report from May 2022 indicated no active infestations during the previous year (2020-2021), and previous pest-related complaints from late 2018 resulted in multiple violations being issued. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and there are no current bedbug issues on record, the persistence of these various maintenance and health concerns over recent years suggests an ongoing need for regular monitoring and maintenance attention to ensure continued habitability and resident comfort.
