618 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story tenement at 618 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lemond Smith, has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly over the past three years. Most notably, there are four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports.

There have been two separate complaints regarding door issues - an emergency door complaint in October 2022 and a non-emergency door frame complaint in December 2022 - both of which were closed due to lack of access for inspection. Looking further back, the building underwent some construction work in 2018 that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation for work done without a permit, though this was resolved without penalties.

In 2019, there was a construction-related complaint that resulted in a Stop Work Order, which was fully rescinded within two weeks. On a more positive note, the building passed three consecutive rodent inspections in January 2019, indicating compliance with basic health requirements at that time. The structure, built in 1899, is subject to the Old Law Tenement classification, which imposes specific maintenance and reporting requirements on the owner under New York City housing regulations.
