971 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 971 Kent Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gregory Vande Hey, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, there was a complaint regarding pests that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, though the inspection could not be completed and residents were advised to file a new complaint if the issue persisted.
While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2024, all reports consistently showed zero infested units, with no need for eradication measures. The building's rodent control history presents a mixed picture of improvement and recurring challenges.
Between 2021 and 2025, there were three instances of documented rat activity (April 2021, July 2021, and April 2023), with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing consistent "Passed" results, including a successful rodent inspection in April 2025. The property's overall maintenance pattern suggests attentive management of reported issues, particularly in rodent control, with most recent inspections showing compliance. The building has also maintained its "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B" designation since its 1905 construction, indicating its current use classification.
