31 Claver Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

31 Claver Place is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1930 and currently owned by Carlyle Harvey. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2023, though these services were reportedly restored quickly.

The building has also faced recurring challenges with rodent activity, particularly evident from multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, including rat sightings noted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2020. Most notably, there are currently open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with these violations recorded consistently from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with this important health requirement.

The building's inspection history shows a pattern of persistent pest management challenges, with multiple instances of rat activity documented through initial inspections from March 2023 through April 2025, though the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed. The property has also undergone various compliance inspections, with mixed results regarding pest management. The records indicate that while some improvements have been made, particularly in addressing heat and hot water issues relatively quickly when reported, there remain significant concerns regarding pest control compliance and the building's overall maintenance record, particularly regarding the timely submission of required bedbug reports to HPD.
