98 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

98 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Sara Chacon. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a current complaint (as of March 2025) about bees/wasps that is still in progress. The building has shown recurring patterns of maintenance concerns, particularly in 2018-2019, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks, floor conditions, fire escape safety, and unsanitary conditions including mold.

During a July 2019 inspection, several violations were documented, and eight Class A violations were issued requiring various safety postings in common areas, which were subsequently closed by October 2019. A notable incident occurred in 2019-2020 regarding unauthorized work in apartment #4R, leading to an Active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $2,500. More recent history shows improved pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last four annual reports (2019-2023), and the building's most recent bedbug report from December 2023 showed no infested or eradicated units.

Property maintenance appears to have stabilized, with no major building violations recorded since 2019. Two permits were issued recently for the property (December 2022 and December 2023) under job number 340767290, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements to the building. The only outstanding issue as of 2025 is the bee/wasp infestation that remains under investigation by the Department of Health.
