1175 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit building at 1175 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Location Realty LLC, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues emerging in mid-2024. Between June and July 2024, multiple emergency violations were documented, including water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), mold, pests, and deteriorating ceiling conditions, particularly affecting the kitchen in the first-floor apartment.

The building has also faced recurrent heat and hot water system problems, with emergency complaints registered in both June and November 2023, though these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. As of July 2024, several critical violations remain open, including concerns about fire safety (defective fire egress, obstructed fire escape window) and building safety (broken plaster surfaces, pest infestation, and water leak issues).

The property has shown ongoing rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2023 and 2024 confirming the presence of rat activity, though recent rodent inspections in May 2025 show passing results. While the building's Pest Control and Bedbug Reporting history (2020-2023) indicates no recorded bedbug infestations, the recent clustering of maintenance violations suggests persistent challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The property was built in 1910 and operates under the OLD LAW TENEMENT classification, placing it among New York City's older residential structures.
