370 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

370 Adelphi Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, built in 1930 and currently owned by Lawrence Best. The building has experienced several persistent issues related to pests, particularly rodents, with multiple 311 complaints documented in 2019 showing rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, culminating in an April 2019 inspection confirming rat activity.

More recently, the property has faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, indicating the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. The building underwent significant construction work between 2021 and 2024, during which time there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to safety measures and construction practices. Notable incidents during this period include violations for failure to maintain safety measures during construction, inadequate protection of adjoining property, and issues with expired fence permits, though many of these violations have been resolved or dismissed.

The most recent inspection in 2024 resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. Since 2022, there has been an active pattern of permit issuance for various work types, with the most recent permits issued in 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work at the property. While the building has experienced multiple violations and complaints over the past few years, the majority of these issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels, with recent inspections showing no major violations being warranted, though the open bedbug reporting violation remains outstanding as of 2024.
