215 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

215 Cumberland Street is a historic four-story, 10-unit residential building in Fort Greene, constructed in 1867 and currently owned by Hilda Cohen. The property has multiple ongoing compliance issues as of 2025, with the most pressing concern being open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, which could indicate potential pest management challenges within the building.

Additionally, the building has accumulated several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations in 2023 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as an outstanding violation from 2019 for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report, suggesting possible maintenance oversight in critical building systems. The property's historical records show significant pest control activity in 2010, with multiple rodent bait applications between April and December of that year, following initial inspections that documented rat activity in both April and May.

While a permit for unspecified work (job number 340812348) was issued in May 2021, the limited information available does not clarify its nature or relevance to current building conditions. The combination of unresolved violations related to both bedbug reporting and external inspections, particularly in relation to building systems, indicates ongoing compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, warranting attention to the building's maintenance oversight history.
