467 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, 4-unit building at 467 Bedford Avenue, owned by Sara Rosenbaum, has a complex history since its 1910 construction, with particularly notable issues emerging in recent years. The building has faced persistent Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding mandatory annual bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, with these violations remaining open as of 2024. There have also been multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations related to construction safety compliance between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent activity centered around a December 2024 case involving unsafe construction practices that resulted in fines totaling over $16,000, though records indicate these violations were subsequently resolved.

Between 2023 and 2025, the building underwent several permit issuances for alteration work, with the most recent permits issued in October 2024. There's evidence of rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing both rat activity in May and a subsequent compliance pass in June. The building's recent construction history is marked by multiple safety violations, including improper sidewalk protection, hazardous scaffolding, and inadequate pedestrian safety measures, particularly during 2023-2024 when substantial alteration work was being conducted.

The violations from December 2024 alone mentioned several concerning conditions, such as unpermitted use of public space, makeshift bracing systems presenting safety hazards, and failure to maintain proper pedestrian protection. Despite these issues, there appears to have been some progress in recent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection passing in June 2025. The building's current status shows fewer active violations compared to the previous two years, suggesting potential improvement in compliance, though historical patterns of violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and construction safety, indicate ongoing challenges with regulatory adherence.
