212 Spencer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

212 Spencer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 2016 under the ownership of Solomon Schwimmer. The building's most significant recent concern has been with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple complaints and inspection results over the past two years.

In 2024-2025, there have been two instances of rat activity (November 2024, May 2025), though the building passed subsequent rodent inspections in both cases. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related complaints, with the most recent documented complaints occurring in November 2023 and November 2024, all of which were eventually closed with inspections noting various conditions related to rodent attraction. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual Bedbug Reports (most recently filed in December 2024) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been minimal and primarily procedural, with two instances (2021 and 2023) related to the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed. There was one Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation in 2019 regarding parking enforcement, which was resolved without any penalty imposed. Despite the recurring rodent issues, the building has demonstrated compliance with most health and safety regulations, regularly passing inspections and maintaining accurate reporting of pest-related incidents.
