295 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 295 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yoel Salcer, has experienced persistent heating and plumbing issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, including an entire building outage in February 2025 that required HPD intervention.

Throughout late 2024 and early 2025, there were several other heating system-related complaints, as well as electrical outlet issues and a significant water leak in December 2024 affecting apartment 4F. The building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file annual external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, which remain unresolved as of September 2024. The property has maintained an active rodent inspection record, with all inspections from 2022 to 2025 passing successfully, though there were failures in 2014.

Recent maintenance issues have included problems with stairwell and hallway conditions, as evidenced by violations issued in July 2023 regarding self-closing doors and plaster repair needs in public areas. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the filing periods, the recurring heat and water system problems represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge. The building's age (built in 1927) and its history as a New Law Tenement suggest these issues may be related to aging infrastructure, though recent years have shown improved compliance with routine rodent inspections and bedbug reporting requirements.
