98 Patchen Avenue
This building has a substantial enforcement record over the last seven years, but recent activity points to a low risk of further maintenance problems in the next 12 months. Read the records below before you sign. Ask which issues were resolved, get repair commitments in writing, and inspect the unit yourself.
This building has 35 recorded HPD violations, above the Bedford-Stuyvesant average of 13.5.
The 5-story, 8-unit building at 98 Patchen Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over the past years, with the most significant recent incidents occurring in August 2026 when emergency complaints regarding heavy water leaks and mold were filed and subsequently closed. The building's violation history includes a notable cluster of problems in 2011-2012, particularly affecting Apartment 1B on the first story, where multiple Class B hazardous violations were issued for issues including water leaks, fire egress security concerns, defective plastered surfaces, and vermin problems, though these were all eventually dismissed. More recently, in 2019-2020, the property faced serious regulatory scrutiny when three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued in December 2019, including unauthorized construction work and inadequate roof protection for adjacent buildings, resulting in $7,500 in penalties, though records indicate these were resolved.

What's in the 98 Patchen Avenue report

Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 98 Patchen Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
