97 Stockton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

97 Stockton Street is a three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Herman Epstein and constructed in 2007. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all ten inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 resulting in passing grades, indicating effective pest management protocols. While the building has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024, the situation appears to have improved significantly in the past year.

The most recent bedbug report filed in February 2025 for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting successful compliance with bedbug protocols. Additionally, there was one complaint regarding excessive debris near the property in October 2023, though this was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" upon inspection in November 2023, and the complaint was subsequently closed. The building's recent history shows a notable pattern of ensuring compliance with both bedbug reporting and rodent inspection requirements.

While the past violations indicate some challenges with administrative compliance, the most recent bedbug report suggests these issues may have been resolved. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections every six months since 2019, demonstrating effective pest control measures. The building's management has maintained the required inspections and reporting for pest-related issues, though the pattern of bedbug violation notices from 2021 to 2024 indicates these regulations were not consistently adhered to until the most recent reporting period.
