429 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 16-unit, 4-story residential building at 429 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jack Zimmer, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are current active violations from 2024 related to a fire incident in Apartment 4C that resulted in the removal of fire stopping throughout the building's primary egress, and a failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. Recent 311 complaints in 2025 show recurring access issues for HPD inspectors attempting to address concerns about doors and an electric range, while earlier in 2024 multiple complaints were investigated without violations being found, covering various issues from mailbox problems to mold and pest concerns. The building has a documented history of significant infrastructure and safety concerns, including multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code violations.
In late 2024, several violations were issued for issues including broken front entrance door locking devices, defective ceramic flooring in the public hall, and problems with the fire escape gusset plate at the fourth story. The property has also faced recurring plumbing and sanitary issues, with multiple violations related to sewage problems in June 2024. Historical complaints reveal patterns of plumbing, electrical, and building maintenance issues, including several related to the boiler system in 2021-2022, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's fire safety infrastructure has been of particular concern, with past violations regarding fire stopping requirements and recent violations indicating potential compromises to egress safety.
While recent inspections indicate no bedbug infestations, rodent activity has been recorded in multiple inspections between 2023-2025, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing a "Passed" result. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with several violations resulting in monetary penalties through the Environmental Control Board. Notable past violations include problems with exterior walls, emergency exit passageways, and various electrical and plumbing systems. An inspection record from 2018-2019 indicated multiple building system deficiencies that required correction, including issues with grounding conductors and fire stopping.
