445 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 445 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1907 and currently owned by Mansour Mehdizadeh, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues in recent years. Most concerning are two heat and hot water complaints in late 2023-early 2024 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported problems.

The building has an open violation from October 2019 related to an illegal door knob lock at a fire escape window in apartment 1B, which presents a safety concern. Three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 remain unresolved, each carrying a penalty of $1,250, related to non-compliance with previous commissioners' orders. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, following a passed inspection in April 2024.

Since 2020, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years. While the building has undergone numerous inspections and complaint investigations, the persistent rodent issues and the relatively recent heating system complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally passed most recent inspections, though the open violation regarding the fire escape door lock and the outstanding ECB violations from 2018 warrant attention.
