976 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit residential building at 976 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Anthony Goscott, was constructed in 2006 and has undergone several significant inspections over the past five years. Of particular concern are the recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting compliance; between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD.

While these violations are procedural in nature, they indicate a pattern of non-compliance with important health and safety requirements. The building has also experienced variable outcomes in rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status. However, there were two consecutive rodent activity reports in late 2024 (November and December), suggesting some fluctuation in pest control effectiveness.

Notably, there was a complaint regarding illegal conversion associated with the property in late 2022, which was marked as "No Access – 2nd Attempt" during inspection and subsequently closed in January 2023. The building's history shows consistent rat control measures being applied, with eight "Passed" inspections between 2020 and 2024, though the two recent rodent activity findings indicate there may have been temporary lapses in rodent management. The recurring bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent activity findings represent the most significant concerns regarding resident comfort and building maintenance practices, while the illegal conversion complaint appears to have been resolved through inspection protocols.
