397 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 397 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene, owned by Chanda Bishop and constructed in 1996, has maintained a consistent record of compliance with both bedbug and rodent inspection requirements over the past decade.

Most recently, as of May 2025, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations, with all five annual reports from 2021 through 2025 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these appear to be administrative oversights rather than indications of an active infestation problem.

The property has also demonstrated strong performance in terms of rodent control, with successful inspections conducted in 2015, 2018, and 2020, including one initial inspection that occurred shortly after a rat sighting complaint in May 2020, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations. This consistent record of passing both bedbug and rodent inspections, combined with the absence of any recent complaints or violations that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort, suggests that while the property has encountered some regulatory requirements regarding bedbug reporting, these issues have been resolved and maintained on an ongoing basis.
