724 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The seven-story, 7-unit residential building at 724 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Isaac Schwartz, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years. Most notably, as of April 2024, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, and a pattern of safety-related violations was documented in 2023, including defective self-closing doors in fire staircases A and B, and the presence of adhesive tape around a sprinkler head in stair B.

These 2023 violations also included issues with required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently closed. The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018-2020, when there were multiple rodent inspections with findings of rat activity and the use of bait, though one compliance inspection in 2018 showed a passing result.

Elevator issues were documented in 2020, with violations for inoperative cab lighting, escape hatch problems, and an expired fire extinguisher, though these were resolved with a $312 penalty. There were also two construction-related complaints in 2018 regarding work beyond approved plans, which resulted in stop work orders, but these were fully rescinded. The building's permit history shows several permits issued between 2018-2019 for various construction and equipment work, indicating active maintenance and improvement efforts during that period.
