623 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, seven-unit apartment building at 623 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Jacob Oberlander and built in 1931, has demonstrated several compliance issues over the past five years, with particular attention needed to its bedbug reporting obligations. The building has received consecutive violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required under Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code.

Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019. While there was a boiler inspection violation from 2019 that was dismissed in October 2020, it indicates a history of non-compliance with necessary safety inspections.

More positively, records show that the building has received necessary permits in October 2023 for plumbing and exhaust work under job number 321202202, suggesting recent maintenance activity. The property's rodent inspection history shows initial rat activity in April 2018, followed by a successful compliance pass in May 2018, though it's important to note that this was several years ago. The building's age and history suggest ongoing regulatory oversight is required, particularly regarding timely submission of safety inspection reports and bedbug documentation.
