667 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

This 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 667 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Sam Rosenboum, was constructed in 1931 and has had several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, from 2018, there were multiple code violations related to building maintenance, including failed rodent inspections in June and July 2018, and two separate violations in May and July 2018 regarding improper maintenance of public areas, which resulted in monetary penalties.

The building has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized work in occupied units throughout 2022, with six separate complaints about work being done without proper permits, though most inspections either found no violations or the inspector was unable to gain access. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all annual reports since then showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The bedbug reporting issues that generated violations in 2021 and 2022 have since been resolved, as subsequent annual reports have been filed correctly. While there were also some building stability concerns reported in August 2022, these complaints were either resolved or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. The most recent bedbug report for the filing period ending October 2024 confirms the building has maintained a pest-free status for over four years, though the property has experienced various compliance issues during that time, particularly relating to unauthorized work and building maintenance violations.
