1387 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The six-story, 18-unit tenement building at 1387 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Abraham Schwartz, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since 2021. Most notably, there have been multiple elevator service interruptions, with complaints about "No Alternate Service" reported between 2021 and 2025, including a current active complaint from June 2025.
Water-related issues have been a persistent concern, with several complaints about leaks (both heavy and slow) documented between 2021 and 2023, though inspections typically found no violations. The building has faced various maintenance and safety issues, including problems with doors/windows (particularly in 2023), electrical wiring violations in 2021, and a period of heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in 2022. Specific apartment-related concerns include a 2022 mouse infestation in Apartment 5C and multiple door-related violations throughout the building, especially affecting self-closing mechanisms.
The Department of Buildings has documented several environmental concerns, including blocked egress at the fire escape in 2021 and poor building facade maintenance. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 continuing to indicate this problem. While the bedbug reporting submitted annually from 2021 to 2024 shows zero infestation cases, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic habitability issues.
