Augrented Insights Report for 221 Spencer Street

221 Spencer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Class A multiple dwelling building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 2014. The property, currently owned by 221 Spencer Street Holdings LLC, has experienced ongoing rodent-related challenges.

Most recently, in October 2023, there were two reported incidents involving rodent sightings, and several inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 recorded rat activity, though some compliance inspections resulted in passing grades. The building's history includes multiple housing maintenance violations, particularly notable between 2017 and 2022, when the property received citations for not properly posting required safety and regulatory notices in the entrance area.

These included violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and general building information notices. However, the building has consistently filed its bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, showing zero infested or re-infested units during this period. While the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 passed, the recurring pattern of rodent-related incidents suggests ongoing pest management challenges in the building.
