177 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 177 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Carl Harvey, has a concerning pattern of pest-related violations and inspections over the past several years.
Most notably, there have been consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with these violations remaining open as of 2024. The building's rodent control record presents a mixed picture: while recent inspections in 2025 have consistently passed, there were significant rat activity issues noted in mid-2024, with rat activity recorded in June 2024 prompting bait application during that same period.
Prior to these issues, the building generally maintained a passing record in rodent inspections, with initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 showing compliance or passing results. The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, and while it has weathered the challenges of pest maintenance requirements, the recurring bedbug report violation pattern suggests ongoing compliance challenges with housing regulations.
