1147 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1147 Bedford Avenue is a three-story, eight-unit, two-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Nicholas Larosa. Built in 1910, the property has experienced several notable incidents and regulatory issues in recent years.

Most concerning are the five active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2023, which were all issued between April and September 2023. The building has also undergone multiple construction-related inspections and interventions, particularly in 2023, with a significant stop work order issued in June 2023 that was fully rescinded by October 2023. The property has faced recurring pest issues, with rat sightings reported in 2019 and 2020, and a standing water complaint in 2021, though all these incidents were investigated and closed without major violations being found.

Between 2022 and 2024, there were several construction enforcement sweeps and inspections, some prompting temporary stop work orders, though inspectors generally found no violations at the time of their visits. Of particular note, there were two debris-related complaints in June 2022 regarding building materials that required attention, and multiple inspection dates between 2022-2024 suggest ongoing monitoring of the property's condition. While many of these complaints were resolved without major penalties, the pattern of construction-related issues and the backlog of inspection violations suggests some regulatory compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
