1047 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1047 Bedford Avenue, owned by Rachel Phipps, has faced several significant maintenance and health challenges over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing issue with heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed in early 2025 (February) that were initially classified as emergencies.
The building also currently has three active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints (as of July 2023) regarding an unsanitary animal facility. While the property has passed multiple rodent inspections from 2022 through 2024, recent inspections in 2025 (April and May) showed rat activity. The building has a history of various maintenance violations that were addressed between 2021-2022, including safety issues such as defective self-closing doors, unsafe electrical wiring, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
In February 2022, violations were documented concerning an unsecured boiler room, hot water pipe leaks, and an incomplete annual bedbug report. While bedbug infestation reports from 2022-2025 show no affected units, recent inspections have identified rodent activity, with compliance checks in 2025 confirming ongoing pest control challenges. The building's management has responded to multiple 311 service requests, though access issues have sometimes limited inspection capacity, particularly during the February 2025 heat and hot water complaints investigations.
