351 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 351 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mohamed Moazes and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns from 2024 regarding Apartment 4R, which has multiple open violations including excessive storage of personal items, visible mold conditions in the bathroom, and defective plastered surfaces requiring repair and uniform painting. The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, as evidenced by a February 2025 complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues, marking a concerning pattern since similar heat/hot water complaints were logged in both 2019 and early 2025. Additionally, there are four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024 that remain unresolved, and two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2020.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, particularly in rodent control, with the most recent inspections (2024 and 2025) passing. Previous rodent activity was documented in 2015, with several bait application instances before control was established. The property has consistently undergone rodent inspections, demonstrating compliance with health regulations. There was a significant pest-related complaint from 2019 investigated by DOHMH that was administratively closed. Two special inspections by the Department of Buildings in 2020 and 2021 found no violations, though an inspection in 2021 did not warrant any violations being issued.

While these periodic inspections indicate some level of oversight, the recurring issues with heating, open violations in 4R, and outstanding bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance. The most recent two occupancy-verified rodent inspections from July 2024 and July 2025 passed, showing improved conditions. The building's maintenance history reveals its age-related challenges, with structural issues being addressed through various violations. The open violations concerning 4R and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, despite the building passing its most recent rodent inspections. In summary, while there have been improvements in certain areas such as rodent control in recent years, the building's historical data reveals persistent challenges with heating systems, maintenance violations, and compliance requirements that require continued attention and resolution.
