1467 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1467 Bedford Avenue is a four-story, 12-unit residential building in Crown Heights, built in 1906 and currently owned by Zach Ehrlich. The building has experienced persistent pest issues, evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections. Most notably, a 2023 HPD complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests could not be inspected due to lack of access, and the building has a history of rat sightings, with recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing both passed results and instances of rat activity.

The property has also faced various maintenance and safety compliance challenges, including two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019 related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, though these were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with maintenance access for inspections, as seen in multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, water supply problems, and rodent sightings. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting status from 2019 through 2024, all reports show zero infested units.

The Department of Buildings has recorded several significant complaints over the years, including issues related to certificate of occupancy, plumbing, and illegal business signage. Most recently, in September 2023, an active ECB violation was issued for an improperly installed business accessory sign with a penalty of $1,250. Despite these issues, the building has shown some improvement in recent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passing. Building permits from 2018-2019 indicate various maintenance and repair work was undertaken, though specific details of these improvements are not outlined in the available data.
