1073 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 12-unit residential building at 1073 Bedford Avenue, operated by 1073-75 Bedford LLC, has faced multiple maintenance challenges since 2024, including recurring issues with heat/hot water, water leaks, flooring problems, and ceiling defects. From October 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple tenant complaints that required HPD intervention, with several inspections being unable to gain access to the affected units. Notably, the building has ongoing rodent issues, with several inspections in 2023-2025 revealing rat activity, though most recent inspections passed compliance.

The property has documented problems with mold, particularly in Apartment 1A, and violations related to water supply issues, as well as some flooring damage. The building's maintenance history also shows three active violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file annual boiler inspections between 2019-2023, and previous issues with the boiler system in 2022. While the building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free since 2019, the recent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing management and maintenance issues.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been issued, including problems with water leaks, flooring conditions, and pest infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 1A. While some violations have been closed after repairs, others remain active or have been issued as new violations through 2023-2025. The property, constructed in 1931, is categorized as an Old Law Tenement and has experienced recurring difficulties with basic services and building maintenance, particularly in recent years.
