1515 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1515 Bedford Avenue is a 10-story, 142-unit residential building constructed in 2016 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Yosi Cohen. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, particularly related to ventilation and air quality. Most notably, there have been multiple Indoor Air Quality complaints in 2023-2024 regarding dust from construction and general ventilation issues, with the latest being an air quality complaint in August 2024.

The property has also faced security-related violations, particularly concerning the building entrance door at the south side of the first story in early 2023, with violations issued for an illegal electromagnetic locking device and failure to provide acceptable mechanical locks during power outages. The building's maintenance history shows periods of both bedbug and rodent activity, though recent inspections have been more favorable. A single bedbug infestation was reported in 2024 (previously, there were two infestations noted in 2021 and 2019), and all were reportedly eradicated.

Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019, with the only recorded rat activity being from a 2011 inspection. The Department of Buildings has issued two notable violations regarding door security in early 2023 - one regarding an unpermitted electromagnetic locking device (Class C) and another regarding missing or defective self-closing doors in a public hall (Class C), indicating some ongoing concerns with building security systems. Most recently, in October 2024, there was also a parking structure documentation issue with a penalty imposed, though this has been marked as resolved.
