227 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

227 Bainbridge Street is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and built in 1910. The property, currently owned by Lorna Leon, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an open Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaint from May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage.

The building also faced emergency heat and hot water issues in December 2024, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. Between 2019 and 2025, there have been recurring rodent-related concerns, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing rat activity, following a passed inspection in July 2024. The building has also consistently failed to file its required annual bedbug reports with HPD since at least 2022, resulting in multiple open violations for this matter across inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The rodent control measures at the property have included bait applications in late 2019, followed by several passed inspections in 2020, 2021, and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2021 and most recently in 2025. The building has experienced some other maintenance issues typical of older tenements, including emergency heat and hot water problems, though these appear to have been addressed when reported. The continued failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements and the most recent rodent activity observation are notable concerns, though the property has generally passed various health inspections over the years, with the exception of these recurring issues.
