708 Fenimore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, two-story building at 708 Fenimore Street in East Flatbush, owned by Greer Herrington, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there is a concerning pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024, and similar violations in 2023 and 2022.

While the building did complete a bedbug reporting period between 2020-2021 showing some units were treated, the ongoing violations suggest potential ongoing management challenges in this area. In early 2023, there was considerable activity regarding unauthorized work at the property, with multiple complaints filed between January and July 2023 regarding work without permits in an occupied multiple dwelling.

These complaints included allegations of unsafe/illegal demolition, contrary to stop work orders, and after-hours work, though inspections in response to these complaints often resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. The situation culminated in January 2023 with an Environmental Control Board violation regarding unpermitted renovation work throughout the building, including removal of sub-floors, ceilings, and partition walls, as well as complete removal of electrical and plumbing systems, though this violation was later resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to pest control, with a rodent inspection in 2019 yielding passing results, but the persistent bedbug reporting violations and pattern of unpermitted work suggest ongoing management oversight issues.
