801 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

801 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, completed in 2018 and currently owned by Joel Kohn. The building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, particularly during its initial years. Between 2019-2020, there were multiple construction-related issues, including two separate complaints about building shaking/vibration that resulted in temporary vacate orders, though these were subsequently rescinded.

During this construction period, the building received several Environmental Control Board violations related to deficient structural design and drawings, with fines totaling $15,000, including issues with concrete design and structural stability requirements. More recently, in 2024, there was an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to submit the required parking structure observation report, though this was resolved with no penalty. The building's maintenance and safety record shows some areas of concern, including a Department of Buildings complaint in 2023 for failure to maintain (though the inspector was unable to gain access for inspection). There was also a housing maintenance code violation in 2022 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units.

The building has maintained good pest control standards, with recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 all passing. The building experienced one notable incident in 2019 involving a fire that rendered the building non-compliant for a short period, though this was resolved. Regular bedbug reporting since 2021 shows consistent monitoring, and recent filings indicate no current infestation issues. The property has also been subject to multiple violations for failure to file energy benchmarking reports, though most have been dismissed upon appeal.
