287 Fenimore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

This two-family residential building at 287 Fenimore Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Marlyn Veenstra, has maintained historic status as a converted Class A building since its 1910 construction. The property has an ongoing pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though a bedbug report was filed for the period 2019-2020 indicating no infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units.

The building previously had these bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent being recorded in April 2024. A rodent inspection conducted in March 2018 resulted in a passing grade, and there was a gas utility-related complaint in July 2018, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final inspection attempt in October 2018.

The Department of Buildings records show appropriate permit activity for plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) work in June 2019, with job number 321933271 properly issued through the department's processes. Despite these various violations and complaints, no citations indicate an ongoing pest infestation problem, as evidenced by the successive years of bedbug report compliance, though it's notable that the annual reporting requirement has consistently generated violations for multiple years, currently extending through 2024 without resolution. The building's documented history shows regular interaction with city agencies primarily concerning compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, while other maintenance and utility matters appear to have been resolved or occurred without significant ongoing issues.
