452 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249
The 5-unit, 4-story tenement building at 452 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Rivky Blumenfeld, has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, with the most recent violations issued in September 2024. The building has also been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent notice in April 2024, despite subsequent filings showing zero infested units, including the December 2024 report.
Between 2019-2023, various Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations were recorded, including unlawful work during a stop-work order and occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, though these were resolved with no penalties. The building experienced substantial rodent issues in 2016, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2019 and 2025 have passed. Two complaints were filed about the building in 2021 and 2023, one regarding unauthorized work and the other concerning a sweep, but both were closed with no violations warranted.
The property's regulatory history shows a pattern of delayed compliance with safety inspections and maintenance requirements, particularly regarding external low-pressure systems and bedbug reporting. While recent bedbug reports suggest effective eradication efforts, the building's past rodent issues and current active violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that all bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024 have been resolved, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2025 passed. The building's multiple violations related to low-pressure inspection filings, however, represent the most significant current compliance issue affecting the property.
