731 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

731 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2017 and currently owned by Joseph Banda. The building has experienced several Department of Buildings violations over its history, though all have been resolved. In 2021, there was a violation related to an elevator certification (resolved by Champion Elevator in November 2021), and in 2020 an unspecified violation was dismissed based on evidence of corrected defects.

Another violation from 2019 was addressed by Sentry in November 2019. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs, with all five annual reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units. However, there have been some concerns with rodent activity.

The most recent inspection in July 2025 passed, but previous inspections in 2024 (October and July) noted rat activity. Historical records from 2010 showed multiple instances of rat activity, with bait applied in February, March, and April of that year. The building received its plumbing permit in August 2018, which was issued and processed through the appropriate channels. The relatively recent construction date (2017) and the generally resolved nature of previous violations suggest the building has maintained regular maintenance and compliance with housing regulations, though the recent rodent activity noted in multiple inspections warrants attention.
