152 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 152 Patchen Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by 152 Patchen Bh Llc, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, a cluster of service requests was filed regarding various building conditions including windows, walls, floors, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures in multiple units, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has an active violation as of June 2023 for failing to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. The property has a history of significant maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2R, which was inspected in June 2023 and found to have multiple issues requiring attention, including problems with light fixtures, flooring, bathroom tiles, gas supply, window guards, and pest control needs. Previous violations from 2021-2022 indicate serious concerns including a blocked chimney and hazardous boiler conditions, though most of these were resolved with various penalties that have been paid.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2014 and 2025, with some concerning results in 2018 but passing inspections in more recent years. Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations or related issues during the reporting periods. The property has experienced multiple failed inspection attempts when inspectors could not gain access, including inspections in 2018, 2020, and 2022 for various complaints that ultimately required follow-up actions or additional permits.
