1055 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 7-unit residential building at 1055 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jennifer Perez, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020, with the most pressing concerns centering on pest infestations and building systems. Most recently, in early 2025, there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that resulted in violations being issued. Throughout 2023, the property faced multiple pest-related issues, with at least six separate poison inspections and four distinct complaints leading to violations.

Additional maintenance challenges have included heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints registered in both October 2023 and January 2023, though heat was reportedly restored promptly in the October incident. The building currently has several open violations as of August 2024, primarily affecting apartment 4C, including issues with self-closing doors, intercom systems, plaster surfaces, wood floors, bathroom fixtures, and window mechanisms. Notably, there is also an open Class C violation regarding roach infestation in apartment 4B from June 2024.

While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, indicating some success in pest management, the repeated nature of the pest-related complaints and violations suggests an ongoing challenge. The property's maintenance history also shows regular compliance inspections and permits being issued for various work, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. Recent bedbug reports between 2018-2024 have consistently shown zero affected units, indicating successful management of this particular pest.
