27 South Portland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

27 South Portland Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and owned by Rajcooar Shen. The building, which has been classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," was constructed in 1875 and has experienced several significant events over recent years.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The most recent bedbug reporting period filing in June 2025 indicates no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units between November 2023 and October 2024, suggesting successful compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The building has experienced one serious incident involving construction work in May 2022, when a Stop Work Order was issued due to missing onsite documentation and plans, resulting in a $3,125 violation that was eventually resolved.

This complaint was related to a sweep inspection conducted by the Department of Buildings. Despite these incidents, the most recent bedbug report and the closed status of the violations indicate improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements. Historical bedbug reports from 2019-2020 and 2023-2024 show a pattern of reporting, though during the periods covered, there were no reported infestations, suggesting that the building has maintained good pest management practices when the violations are set aside.
