1453 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 3-unit tenement building at 1453 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, constructed in 1929, is currently managed by Bec Continuum Owner LLC. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water complaint for the entire building in August 2023 that resulted in multiple open violations.

Other significant violations include problems with the heating system access and documentation, as well as various deficiencies in Apartment 2's bathroom and hallway in 2023, including defective plaster surfaces, missing door hardware, and inadequate hot water supply. The building has also faced safety equipment issues, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Unit 1F in January 2022, and window guard non-compliance in the same unit. The property has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including a power outage in January 2022 and a door issue in August 2021 that resulted in violations.

A Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection remains active. However, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reporting periods showing no affected units. While there are multiple open violations as of October 2023, including issues with heating system access and maintenance in Apartment 2, the building's recent record shows some improvement in terms of completed emergency repairs, though proper documentation and resolution of open violations appears to be ongoing.
