646 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

646 Bedford Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Shulem Greenbaum. The building has maintained a consistent record of complying with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent reports for the periods ending October 2024 and October 2023 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

While the property has had several Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, these have all been resolved. Most notably, there has been a recurring requirement to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, though these violations are administrative in nature rather than indicating an ongoing bedbug problem. The building had some significant maintenance issues addressed in the 1980s, including problems with inadequate lighting at the front entrance, hallways, and on the fire escape, as well as unauthorized window alterations - all of which were certified as resolved in August 2024.

The lighting issues were documented in both 2002 and 2005, requiring 100-200 watt bulbs to be maintained and operated during specified hours. The most serious safety concern from the historical records was the fire escape defect noted in 1986, which has since been corrected. The building appears to have had no significant violations in the past 20 years that would directly impact resident safety or comfort, and the most recent bedbug report compliance suggests proper management of this particular concern, despite the previous violations noting the need for proper reporting procedures.
