8 Spencer Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 8 Spencer Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Doron Yousfan and constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly regarding rodent activity and compliance with various regulatory requirements. As of 2025, the building remains subject to multiple open violations, including failures to file annual bedbug reports (dating back to 2021) and non-compliance with external low pressure inspection requirements from 2022.
The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, following a pattern of rat sightings and complaints between 2022 and 2024, including two official complaints in 2024 and several inspections recording rat activity. The building has also faced various other maintenance concerns, including multiple complaints in 2023 and 2022 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though these complaints were closed without violations being found.
A plumbing issue related to water supply was reported in July 2022 as an immediate emergency, but like the others, was resolved without resulting violations. While the property has passed several health and safety inspections, the ongoing rodent activity, open violations regarding bedbug reporting, and failure to file required inspections suggest persistent management challenges. Notably, the building's history includes both initial and compliance inspections specifically related to rat activity, with alternating results of "Passed" and "Rat Activity" indicating inconsistent resolution of pest control issues.
