542 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 542 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1907 and currently owned by United Bainbridge LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file annual external low pressure inspections, with six violations issued in September 2024 alone, following similar violations from 2020-2023 that remain unresolved.

There are also two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2018 related to self-closing doors at the building's bulkhead and in the entrance to apartment 1L. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, achieving passing results in 2018, but failed initial inspections in 2010 and 2011. Bedbug reports for the building over the past five years (2020-2025) show no infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested units, and all eradication efforts showing successful outcomes.

Two complaints regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections were filed in April 2024 and remain active as of April 2025. While the absence of bedbugs and rodent issues in recent years is positive, the recent pattern of inspection non-compliance, particularly regarding low pressure system inspections, indicates ongoing maintenance oversight challenges. The building's historical records show a mix of compliance with some requirements and persistent issues with others, suggesting a need for closer monitoring of maintenance requirements by ownership.
