1455 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1455 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and owned by David Kramer. Built in 1929 as a New Law Tenement, the property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building in late 2023, occurring between December 21 and January 4, 2024, with violations issued during inspections.

More recently, there have been two heavy water leak incidents in 2025 (March and April), with the March incident resulting in violations. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in apartment 3R, including issues with heating systems, security features (such as door/window components), and water-related problems. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2023 through 2025, though there were periods of "Rat Activity" noted in 2022.

A bedbug report showed no infestation in recent years, with the most recent filings from 2023 indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The building underwent several inspections and generated multiple complaints between 2022 and 2025, including a 2023 complaint regarding building shaking/vibrating, though this was referred to the Department of Transportation. Despite these challenges, the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2023, and the bedbug reporting has consistently shown no active infestations.
