365 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 365 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene, owned by Olga Cordero and constructed in 1995, has experienced several significant pest-related issues over recent years, particularly concerning rodents and bedbugs. Most notably, there have been three recent rodent incidents within a year of each other: in September 2024 (with rat activity documented), and most recently in May 2025, though the latter inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. Prior to this, the building was under scrutiny for bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no infested units or re-infestations.

The building also faced an illegal conversion complaint in July 2024, though the investigation was inconclusive due to inability to gain access. The property's inspection record shows a mixed history of compliance with health and safety standards. While the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed with no violations, there have been intermittent rat-related issues documented through 311 complaints.

Historical records from 2015 and 2018 show successful rodent inspections, suggesting some periods of improved pest control. The building's recent bedbug reporting compliance, while initially problematic, demonstrates recent adherence to filing requirements, though it's worth noting that the actual infestation status remained consistently reported as zero during the filing period. The combination of rodent sightings, bedbug reporting violations, and the illegal conversion complaint indicates some ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, though recent inspections have generally shown improvement in pest management and building maintenance.
