8 Spencer Court, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 8 Spencer Court in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Thomas Mccleese, has been in operation since 1899 and is currently facing several notable housing maintenance issues. Most concerning is an ongoing pattern of bedbug report violations, with the most recent citation issued in April 2024, and three previous similar violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021, all for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.
While the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between January 2022 and July 2025, there was one instance of rat activity noted in February 2022, though subsequent inspections confirmed the issue was resolved. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent compliance with safety standards over the past several years, with eight consecutive passing results since 2022, including four inspections in 2024-2025 that passed.
The persistent bedbug report violation issue stands out as the building's most significant maintenance concern, given its potential impact on resident comfort and quality of life. These violations are particularly noteworthy given the building's age and classification as an old law tenement, which typically requires adherence to specific maintenance and reporting standards under New York City housing regulations.
