1434 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The four-story, 9-unit brownstone at 1434 Broadway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Larry Hirschfield, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024, with the most recent complaints in November 2024 involving plumbing problems in bathtubs/showers and toilets, as well as refrigerator issues. The building has a documented history of plumbing problems, with multiple complaints regarding sinks, toilets, and water leaks between 2024-2025.
There have been significant sanitation concerns, including mold issues in apartment 2B (notably in both November 2024 and September 2024), and a sewage problem reported in June 2024, though no violations were issued upon HPD inspection. The building's infrastructure has faced several challenges, including cracked window sills and lintels on the 3rd and 4th floors as noted in 2022 Department of Buildings violations, and an active ECB violation for failure to maintain building walls.
Several serious violations remain active as of 2023-2024, including multiple instances of failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021 and a violation regarding immediate hazardous conditions. The property has shown persistent issues with rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 consistently showing rat activity despite attempted bait applications. While the building has reported zero bedbug infestations in its last five required annual reports (2020-2025), the maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems including plumbing, electrical appliances, and general sanitation.
