717 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

717 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The concrete structure was built in 2002 and is currently owned by Joe Redek. The building's maintenance record shows a relatively consistent pattern of compliance with housing regulations, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2021-2025) and successful rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019.

However, the property has experienced several infrastructure and safety-related issues requiring attention. Notable incidents include an elevator service disruption in March 2020 that resulted in an ECB violation and a $1,250 penalty (now resolved), and multiple safety notice violations in 2018 related to emergency procedures, including carbon monoxide detection, gas leak response, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were certified as resolved by May 2018. More recent concerns include a FISP Cycle 9C unsafe report filed in February 2024, though this was deleted in March 2024 as an erroneous entry.

The building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with all annual reports showing zero infestation cases. Historical violations have been mostly resolved, including a pressure relief valve replacement at Boiler #3 (completed February 2023) and various administrative code violations related to cleaning requirements in the boiler room and first-floor public hall. The property also faced a Category 1 elevator violation in 2019 for failure to file inspection/test results, which was subsequently dismissed following proper documentation submission. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding elevator service and safety notice compliance, recent records indicate improved maintenance practices, with no current violations active as of 2025 other than the previously mentioned 2024 FISP Cycle report issue.
