789 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 6-story, 12-unit building at 789 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Simon Eisenfeld, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several notable events and violations over the past five years. Most recently, in 2024, the building received an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding failure to submit the required parking structure inspection report, with an associated penalty of $2,500. A complaint about illegal after-hours work was filed in April 2025, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The building's elevator systems have required particular attention, with multiple Department of Buildings violations recorded between 2018-2020, including a 2019 violation for failing to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, which remains active. In 2022, several housing maintenance violations were documented and subsequently closed, including issues with gas leak safety notifications, encumbered common areas, and unauthorized alterations in apartments 4A and 5B involving acoustic tile drop ceilings. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issue, though a rat activity finding was noted in December 2022. The property has experienced occasional issues with encumbrances in common areas, as evidenced by violations recorded in multiple years, including during 2022 inspections. While there are multiple violations on record, most have been resolved through appropriate corrective actions, with the most significant current issue being the active parking structure violation from 2024.
