Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

304 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene is a historic three-story building constructed in 1859, currently containing four residential units and owned by Tom Santos. The property has demonstrated recent vigilance in pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) after experiencing two documented cases in 2020-2021 and 2019, where each incident involved one unit that was successfully treated. While there was a rat sighting reported in May 2024, this was promptly addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which conducted an inspection and found no violations. Following this, a rodent inspection performed in June 2024 resulted in a passing grade.

The building has encountered some administrative challenges, receiving Housing Maintenance Code violations in March 2023 and April 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. These violations appear to stem from a systems issue rather than an ongoing infestation problem, as evidenced by the lack of new infestations in the most recent reporting periods. The property maintains an active monitoring and reporting system for both bedbugs and rodents, passing all recent inspections and maintaining an up-to-date reporting history with no current violations on record.
