514 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

514 Bainbridge Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1902 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by James Robinson. The building has experienced consistent administrative and maintenance issues over recent years, with several open violations and inspection requirements that remain unaddressed. Notably, there are recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which remain open as of 2024.

The Department of Buildings has multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with the most recent being issued in September 2024 for the failure to file the 2023 inspection report. A similar pattern of non-compliance is evident with six consecutive years (2018-2023) of missed external low-pressure inspection filings, all documented as active violations. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity.

The most significant cluster of rodent-related incidents occurred in 2022, with multiple inspections documenting rat activity in May, June, and August, prompting bait application. Earlier rodent inspections in 2018 also identified rat activity in both January and March of that year, though the December 2018 inspection passed. The property has a long history of maintenance violations, with a particularly notable backlog of required inspections that suggests ongoing oversight challenges, though it's important to note that the building was built under the New Law Tenement classification typical of its age and neighborhood.
