800 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 800 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mendy Deutsch, was constructed in 2002 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. As of May 2025, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust in the common areas.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in July 2022, primarily affecting the 5th-floor North fire stairs, where multiple issues were documented including water leaks, fire safety concerns, and maintenance problems. These violations concerned the ceiling condition, fire retardant materials, and the presence of encumbering household items in various common areas. Additional issues were identified in Apartment 4B (3rd story, South), including water leak problems in the kitchen, ceiling repair needs, and door refitting requirements.

The building's recent history includes a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with inspections in October 2022 and December 2022 both noting rat activity, though a subsequent inspection in July 2024 passed without any such findings. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across all reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with all dwelling units reporting as free of infestations, eradications, or re-infestations. The most recent building inspection data indicates a mix of resolved violations, with most being certified as corrected by late 2022, except for the current lead dust complaint which remains open as of May 2025.
