1059 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1059 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 1059 Hdfc and located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of emergency complaints in October 2018 involving plumbing problems (toilets and sink), heating/hot water issues, electrical problems (lighting), and cooking gas concerns, all of which were closed without inspection due to access issues.
The property has open violations related to Annual Bedbug Reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and there are multiple active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspections for 2018, 2021, and 2022. Apartment 2C has documented maintenance issues from 2018 requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, electrical fixtures, and plumbing systems, though the current status of these violations is not specified. The building's rodent inspection history reveals a mixed result pattern, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing rat activity, following a January 2025 pass.
There was also a rat activity finding in November 2021, though previous inspections from 2022-2024 generally showed passing results. The property had a Department of Buildings complaint in May 2024 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, which was closed due to inspector access issues, and there appears to be another active violation from 2023-2024 regarding External Low Pressure Inspection filing requirements. The compounding nature of these maintenance issues, particularly the open bedbug violations and recent rodent activity, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
