129 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-story, 23-unit building at 129 Patchen Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Hershy Beigel and built in 1952, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The property, which is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has demonstrated recurring problems with its elevator system, with multiple complaints in early 2024 about the single device being out of service and no alternate service available. These issues resulted in ECB violations with penalties of $1,250.

Other prominent concerns have included persistent electrical problems, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints about no lighting, though HPD inspections were often unable to be completed. The building has also faced heating and hot water issues, with building-wide complaints in early 2025 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. Recent inspection records from 2024-2025 show the presence of infestations in apartments 2C and 5A, including mice and cockroaches, though these were marked as "Closed" with certifications of abatement.

The building has undergone various maintenance inspections and improvements, with permits recently issued in June 2025 for plumbing and electrical work. Historical records from 2019-2020 show additional elevator maintenance violations, and earlier issues included facade concerns with masonry materials falling from multiple floors, though these were subsequently resolved. The property's bedbug reporting from 2021-2025 indicates no infestations during the specified periods, and recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints, many have been addressed through inspections and repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by the management.
