536 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

536 Bainbridge Street is a newly constructed 2-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, completed in 2023 and owned by Lionel Guigui. The building's construction and early occupancy period was marked by multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2021, with four separate incidents requiring HPD intervention between March and April 2021, though one incident was reported as resolved by a tenant. Following these initial challenges, the building's focus shifted to construction compliance matters, with numerous Department of Buildings complaints recorded throughout 2023-2025.

These complaints primarily relate to construction safety compliance issues, with Oath Violations served in multiple instances between 2023 and 2025, and several Stop Work Orders that were eventually rescinded. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 highlight several safety and compliance issues, including faulty chimney extension installation, inadequate housekeeping, and various construction safety concerns, with penalties totaling over $15,000. The building's maintenance history shows some ongoing challenges with rodent control, with inspections in 2018 showing compliance but subsequent violations in 2022 indicating rat activity.

Multiple 311 complaints during 2021 suggest initial discomfort for residents regarding building systems, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work at the property, with the most recent being a new building permit issued on September 25, 2024. While the building is relatively new and has experienced typical post-construction compliance issues, the concentration of construction safety violations and environmental violations during 2023-2025 suggests ongoing monitoring of building safety protocols and maintenance of common areas may be necessary to ensure resident comfort and safety.
