1469 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1469 Bedford Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit converted New Law tenement building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Alfred Thompson. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints in early 2025 regarding heat and hot water problems, door issues, and pest infestations. Notably, during these recent complaints, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was frequently unable to gain access for inspections, leading to closed complaints without resolution.
The building has also been cited for multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly during a December 2024 inspection that revealed water leak issues in stairwells and problems with fire retardant materials in ceilings. Moreover, there are several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations relating to the elevator system, including issues with door monitoring and maintenance requirements, though some older ECB violations from 2018-2020 regarding work without permits have been resolved. The building's elevator system has a documented history of problems, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2019 and 2024, though recent inspections generally found no violations at the time.
Energy efficiency compliance appears to be an ongoing issue, with active violations for failure to display required scores and grades, and for failing to file benchmarking reports. Pest control measures have been implemented, with regular reporting showing minimal infestations in recent years, though there have been periodic reports of rodent activity, as evidenced by April 2025 inspections showing "Rat Activity" results. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent control between 2022 and 2025, with most recent inspections showing compliance except for the April 2025 inspections.
