13 Spencer Court, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 12-story, 23-unit residential building at 13 Spencer Court in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Travis Fabien, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rat infestation problem, with multiple complaints and inspections from 2023 through 2025 showing consistent rat activity and the application of bait throughout 2025. In January 2023, the building experienced a heat and hot water outage that was reportedly resolved during the HPD inspection.
A major pattern of violations emerged in 2023-2024, particularly affecting Apartment 12A, which was cited for unsanitary conditions, including mold, and multiple safety issues including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, missing window guards, and problems with refuse accumulation. The building has also been subject to multiple violations related to its facade and balcony maintenance, particularly from 2022-2024. These violations included documented problems with balcony slabs, concrete spalling, and safety concerns requiring immediate attention.
There were several compliance inspections related to Local Law 188/17, though some inspections resulted in Oath Violations for sidewalk shed inadequacies. Recent inspections in early 2025 continue to show evidence of rodent activity, despite the building's bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019-2025. Balconies and facade maintenance have resulted in multiple ECB violations, with penalties imposed for various safety and maintenance issues, though many have been resolved or dismissed through proper certification.
