279 Clermont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

279 Clermont Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, built in 1868 and currently owned by Nyjah Martin. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

These open violations suggest ongoing non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though they do not necessarily indicate a current bedbug infestation. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing successfully. This follows two consecutive rat activity incidents in 2010, with initial inspections in March and July 2010 showing evidence of rat presence.

Compliance inspections conducted later in 2010 and 2011 were successful, suggesting improvements were made at that time. However, there was another rat activity report during an initial inspection in July 2011, though this was followed by a successful compliance inspection in August 2011. While there have been no reported rat or rodent issues since 2011, the building's historical record shows periodic challenges with both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent control, though there have been no documented safety concerns or violations beyond these issues.
