AI summary · updated June 2026

The 4-story, 6-unit residential building at 777 Fulton Street in Fort Greene, dating back to 1930 and currently owned by Joseph Chener, has experienced several notable events affecting resident quality of life and safety over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though previous violations from 2021-2023 relating to the same requirement were closed. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, following an initial inspection in February 2024 that noted rat activity. A concerning pattern of food establishment-related complaints has emerged, particularly between 2019-2020, with multiple reports of rodent, insect, and garbage issues, though these were largely addressed and closed through Department of Health intervention. A food poisoning incident was reported in December 2022 but was determined to be isolated by the Health Department. Historical complaints about illegal hotel rooms and special operations compliance were investigated in 2019 and 2021 respectively, with no violations found in either case. The building's most recent bedbug report filing in May 2023 showed no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the period from November 2021 to October 2022, suggesting successful pest management during that timeframe.
