249 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 249 Devoe Street in East Williamsburg, owned by George Stumpf and dating from 1920, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges over recent years. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of rodent activity, with health department inspections in late 2024 and 2023 showing rat presence, and a July 2023 DOHMH rodent complaint resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections.
The building has also faced bedbug reporting compliance issues, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. While the bedbug infestation situation appears to have improved recently, with filings in 2024 and 2025 showing no infested units, the building's history shows a complete infestation of all six units recorded in 2023, followed by periods with no reported infestations between 2024-2025.
The property has undergone numerous rodent inspections since 2022, with most recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though one compliance check in January 2023 passed without issues. The building's maintenance records indicate persistent challenges with both rodent and bedbug management, though recent bedbug reports suggest successful eradication of that particular issue.
