Augrented Insights Report for 1255 Bedford Avenue

1255 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1910 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, owned by Sam Rubin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints registered in 2025 alone regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, ventilation system problems, and pest infestations.

Notably, there were violations issued in February 2025 for pest issues and plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, though inspections conducted at the time of some complaints did not find violations. The building's track record shows persistent maintenance challenges, including a Class C violation from October 2024 regarding limited access to the heating system, and a 2021 violation related to rodent infestations in the rear yard. The property underwent significant construction work between 2019-2020, which generated multiple Department of Buildings violations, particularly in mid-2020 regarding inadequate roof protection and unsafe storage of combustibles, resulting in penalties.

Construction-related complaints during this period included several COVID-19 safety compliance issues. More recently, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, and the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the most recent reports from 2024-2025. While recently resolved complaints indicate attention to maintenance issues, the pattern of complaints and violations over recent years suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
