26 Oliver Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

26 Oliver Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by David Whitmore. The property has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, most notably a rodent issue in 2020 with mouse sightings and ongoing signs of rodents reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Between 2016 and 2023, the building experienced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including two consecutive violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate zero infested units. Other violations from 2016 that remain open pertain to water leak issues and environmental safety notices, particularly concerning the heating system key access notice. The building has undergone various inspections and received several Department of Buildings violations between 2020 and 2022, though these were ultimately dismissed based on subsequent reports showing that defects had been corrected.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2016, including failures to post required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection and smoke detector requirements, though many of these violations were subsequently closed between 2023 and 2024. The property has consistently maintained an updated bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024, showing compliance with reporting requirements and indicating a successful handling of any infestation issues when they occurred. While the building has faced periodic maintenance issues over the years, the most recent records suggest improved compliance with safety regulations and maintenance standards.
