Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

387 Cumberland Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and owned by Dwayne Broadnax. Built in 1996, the building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. The most recent violations, documented in April 2024 and March 2023, remain open, while similar violations from 2022 and 2021 have been closed, though all pertain to the same underlying issue of failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by NYC Housing Maintenance Code. Despite these reporting violations, the building's official bedbug reports filed for the periods November 2019-October 2020 and November 2020-October 2021 show no documented infestations, with the records indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during both periods.

The building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control standards, having passed an initial inspection conducted in June 2018. While the open bedbug reporting violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance with documentation requirements, it's worth noting that these violations do not directly confirm the presence of bedbugs within the building. The most recent housing maintenance violations represent the only active infractions on record for this building in recent years, with no other significant safety or maintenance issues documented in the available records through October 2023.
