318 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The three-story, four-unit brownstone at 318 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has a dated yet storied history extending back to 1859. The building, currently owned by Norman Janis, has experienced several significant pest-related issues in recent years, most notably concerning bedbugs and rodents.
The property has maintained an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), suggesting persistent non-compliance with this health requirement. Recent rodent activity has been particularly notable, with two rat sighting complaints lodged in June 2024, one of which encountered access issues during inspection. However, following these incidents, a July 2024 rodent inspection was conducted and passed.
These pest control challenges appear to be ongoing, though the recent inspection results indicate some level of improved management. The building's conversion to Class A status, denoting its current occupancy type, occurred prior to the available records and has maintained this designation through the present. While the property has reached its third century of existence, its recent history has been marked by recurring pest-related concerns, culminating in multiple open violations related to both bedbug reporting and rodent sightings.
