890 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

890 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 2006 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Eli Pavel. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, most notably in mid-2023 when violations were documented in Apartment G, including defective plastered surfaces in the private hallway and problematic self-closing doors - both of which were certified as corrected by August 2023.

In 2021, there were multiple violations recorded for improperly stored household items in public areas, particularly in the hallway and stairs, though these were resolved by August 2021. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with no documented infestations during these periods. Recent mechanical issues have emerged, with two complaints regarding the boiler recorded in 2025 and 2024 - one for being defective/inoperative (though inspector was unable to gain access) and another for suspected work without a permit, though no violation was found at inspection.

Of particular note is an active elevator-related violation from 2019 regarding failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection. The building's rodent inspection history is mixed; while the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, there were notable failures in 2011 and 2013, with rat activity documented in 2013 despite subsequent compliance passes in 2014. The Department of Buildings records show multiple resolved violations between 2018-2022, generally indicating prompt attention to identified issues, though one 2021 violation regarding encumbrances in public areas remains without a current status update as of October 2023.
