291 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 291 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene, owned by Lois Griffith and dating back to 1850, has undergone several notable administrative events in recent years, primarily revolving around bedbug reporting compliance. The building has consistently received Bedbug Reporting violations under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024, while prior violations from 2023, 2022, and 2021 have been closed.

These violations were all related to the requirement of filing annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules. However, the official bedbug reporting records show no documented infestations during the 2021-2022 reporting period, with zero infested dwelling units, eradicated units, and re-infested units reported as of June 2023.

The property has also had one documented Department of Buildings permit issued in late 2021, specifically for exterior work (permit type EW) with job number 340824638 and sequence number 01, showing proper channels were followed for construction-related activities. While the building appears to have maintained a consistent pattern of responding to bedbug reporting requirements, the most recent open violation from April 2024 suggests there may still be some ongoing administrative oversight regarding bedbug documentation compliance, though the absence of reported infestations in official records is notable.
