1171 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 5-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 1171 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sean Shelton, has experienced several notable events over recent years.
Most significantly, the building has faced recurring issues with mandatory bedbug reporting compliance, receiving three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024, though the most recent bedbug report from August 2024 shows no infestation cases during the previous reporting period (2022-2023). The building has undergone consistent rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in May 2025 and November 2024 passing without issues, following some "Rat Activity" findings in November 2022 and July 2021.
A sidewalk shed complaint from April 2024 was investigated and found to have no violations warranting action. The property has demonstrated an improved record in recent months, with all inspections showing compliance, though the historical pattern of bedbug reporting violations and rodent activity points to persistent maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention.
