1458 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 1458 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Rabah Brown, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2024, multiple emergency violations were documented, including issues with windows, doors, cabinets, and the presence of mold. There are also open Housing Maintenance Code violations from February 2024 concerning defective fire safety equipment in apartments 3A and 4A, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with fire doors in the cellar.
The building has had recurring rodent activity, with several inspections between 2022 and 2024 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 passed. A pattern of maintenance issues is evident, particularly in 2023-2025, with multiple complaints regarding door/window conditions and intercom systems. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods from 2021 to 2023, and there is no evidence of active violations as of October 2023, though multiple open violations from 2024 remain pending resolution.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in certain areas, with recent 311 complaints being investigated and violations issued, though this requires owners to address the issues within specified timeframes. The property has had several permitting activities in 2018-2020 for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance and upgrades. The bedbug reporting history shows consistent zero infestation counts across multiple years, indicating effective pest management practices, while recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show compliance with rodent control measures, though earlier inspections in 2023 indicated rat activity. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the consistent issuance and tracking of violations through 311 system suggests regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms are being applied, though the open status of certain violations from 2024 indicates ongoing resolution processes.
