716 Fenimore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 716 Fenimore Street in East Flatbush was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Kia Skelton. The property has experienced ongoing pest management challenges, particularly during 2019-2020, when multiple complaints regarding rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions were logged between December 2019 and February 2020, though most inspections during that period resulted in no violations. More recently, there have been several health and safety concerns, including open violations related to the lack of annual bedbug reporting from 2021-2024, and a health department inspection in March 2024 for a rat sighting that resulted in no violations.

The building experienced heating system issues in February 2020 that resulted in violations, though these were addressed. Additional historical concerns include two complaints in 2018-2019 regarding potential illegal hotel rooms and certificate of occupancy issues, both of which could not be investigated due to lack of access. The property has undergone various inspections and has received notices of violation for multiple safety concerns, including building entrance door issues and heating system access problems in early 2019.

While most violations have been resolved, the persistent nature of some complaints, particularly regarding pest management and bedbug reporting, is notable. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2024 resulted in passing the examination, suggesting some level of recent improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with a significant focus on pest control measures being required through the years.
