421 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 421 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Oscar Valencia, has experienced numerous health and maintenance challenges over recent years. Most concerning is the building's persistent rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 (July, May), 2025 (June), and several instances in 2022 showing consistent problems, though some inspections resulted in passing grades.
There have been multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) interventions regarding food safety, including recent food poisoning complaints in 2024 and 2022, though these were deemed isolated incidents. The building has also faced issues with heat and hot water service in January 2021, affecting both individual apartments and common areas, though these problems appeared to be resolved promptly. Recent building management practices came under scrutiny in 2024 and 2023 regarding unpermitted work, with a $1,250 penalty imposed for unauthorized framing work in a commercial space, though this violation was later resolved.
The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 to 2024, showing zero infested units during the last two reporting periods. Historical complaints dating back to 2019 include intercom system issues and ventilation problems, which were addressed through appropriate channels. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in the past, the frequency of recent violations suggests ongoing pest management challenges remain a significant concern for residents.
