349 Fenimore Street is a 3-story, 3-unit Class A residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, built in 2007 and owned by David Simon. The property has experienced a pattern of rodent-related complaints, with five reports between March 2024 and April 2024, though all inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene resulted in passing grades with no violations found. A concerning period of maintenance issues occurred in 2021, including a power outage (July), heat and hot water problems (April), and unsanitary garbage storage conditions (March), which resulted in several violations particularly affecting Unit 1.

The building has had multiple violations related to safety and maintenance in 2021, including electrical supply issues, door closures, and fire retardant material concerns in public areas, though these have since been resolved. All recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infested units, with the most recent annual report (2024-12-15) showing zero infestation claims. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from July 2023 regarding work without a permit was closed with no violations found.

The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with rodent inspections, having passed all inspections since 2018, with the most recent in May 2024 also resulting in a passing grade. The property has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024, showing responsible compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or required eradications in any of the reporting periods. While the building has experienced some significant maintenance issues in the past, particularly in 2021, there have been no major violations or complaints affecting resident safety or comfort in recent years, and the property has demonstrated good compliance with health and safety inspections.
