14 Spencer Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

14 Spencer Place is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Joahana Thompson. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past three years, with the most recent rat sighting reported in August 2023 resulting in violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 passed without major concerns.

The building has maintained an annual bedbug reporting compliance record since 2019-2020, showing only one infested unit in 2020, with subsequent reports (2021-2024) indicating no infestations, though the property has received multiple violation notices for failure to submit annual reports between 2021 and 2024. The building's inspection history reveals a generally positive trend, with most rodent inspections passing since 2021, though there have been intermittent reports of rat activity, particularly in 2023.

The property has undergone regular inspections and filed the required bedbug reports for the past two years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating improved pest management practices. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed without issues, suggesting recent improvements in pest control. While the building's history shows attention to compliance with housing maintenance codes, including bedbug reporting requirements that at times resulted in violations, the consistent inspections and recent improved passing rates indicate ongoing efforts to maintain building standards.
