1463 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 1463 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Max Nager, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since 2021, particularly related to heating and water systems. The most significant issues have revolved around heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between late 2021 and early 2022, some of which were building-wide problems, while others were apartment-specific. During this same period, there were documented water leak problems, including both heavy flow and slow leaks in December 2021.

These maintenance issues were accompanied by violations related to apartment 4A's condition, including problems with plaster surfaces, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and roof leaks, as well as an infestation of mice and roaches that were reported and subsequently certified as abated in early 2022. Recent inspections suggest some improvement in maintenance conditions. The building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing no infestations during the reporting periods.

However, rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 indicating varying levels of rat activity, though a recent April 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" classification. The most recent housing maintenance code violations were addressed by March 2022, including repairs to plastered surfaces, smoke detector replacement, and roof leak repairs in apartment 4A. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with all recent reports (2022-2024) showing zero infestation cases.
