221 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 221 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene, owned by Kim Warren, has been closely monitored for several years regarding pest-related issues. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of the building missing its required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with documented violations of Housing Maintenance Code § HMC related to this requirement.

However, the most recent bedbug report filing in April 2025 showed no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the 2023-2024 reporting period, suggesting improved compliance with bedbug monitoring requirements. The property has also experienced rodent-related concerns, with a rat sighting reported in August 2023 through 311 services.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated this complaint but found no violations during their inspection. A subsequent rodent inspection in October 2023 was passed, indicating that while there have been pest-related issues in the past, the current management appears to be taking appropriate steps to address them. The building's construction dates back to 1867, and while it has transitioned to a "Heretofore Converted Class A" designation, recent inspection records suggest active management oversight of both bedbug reporting requirements and rodent control measures, though there has been some history of non-compliance with regulatory requirements prior to 2025.
