246 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

246 Bainbridge Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Max Nager and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably regarding water systems and structural conditions. The most recent concern, addressed in July 2024, involved a slow water leak that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

During 2020-2021, the building faced significant challenges with heat and hot water systems, experiencing several emergency complaints, including incidents in April 2020 and November 2020 where heat and hot water were reportedly inadequate. There were also multiple issues with interior surfaces, including paint and plaster damage to walls and ceilings in 2021, particularly affecting Apartment 2, which remains subject to several open violations related to building codes regarding defective surfaces. The building's safety features have been another area of concern, with open violations as of 2021 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2.

Although there were multiple rodent sightings reported between 2020 and 2023, regular inspections have consistently shown the building passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 confirming compliance. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested units. An external pressure inspection violation was recorded and dismissed in 2023. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, most recent inspections and reports indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest control and bedbug management.
