165 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

165 Bainbridge Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Joan Eastmond. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding system failures affecting the entire building.

These complaints resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments 2 and 3, which remain open as of the latest inspection dates. Additionally, there have been recent infrastructure concerns, including water leak issues and problems with wall conditions, with violations issued in April 2024 regarding water leaks and plaster/paint damage. The building's basement area has shown particular maintenance challenges, with multiple violations identified in May 2024 regarding self-closing doors and water leaks, though some were subsequently closed.

The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections, with mixed results; while inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2025 showed passing results, there were reports of rat activity in June and July 2024. The building's history includes a bedbug report for the period between late 2019 and late 2020, but with no infested units reported. While some problems have been addressed through inspections and violations being closed, several critical issues remain open, particularly regarding the building's heating and hot water systems, which have shown persistent operational challenges over the past two years.
