1512 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1512 Bedford Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and built in 1931. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest management and sanitation over the past few years, particularly concerning rodent activity and bedbug reporting compliance.

Most recently, in May 2025, a rodent inspection found rat activity, following a similar pattern of infestations with rodent activity recorded in June 2023 and November 2021. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 onward, with no reported infested units or eradicated units in the most recent filings from 2024 and 2023, though violations were issued in four consecutive years (2021-2024) for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, all of which have since been closed.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety compliance issues, including a boiler room access violation in June 2021 that resulted in a $1,562 penalty, though this was resolved through proper correction and submission of a certificate. While the most recent rodent inspection shows continued challenges with vermin control, the building has achieved passing results in multiple rodent inspections and has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years. The current owner, Barbara Baker, has maintained ownership throughout these documented incidents, which represent the building's most significant environmental and maintenance challenges as of July 2025.
