119 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

119 Bedford Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Grace Rainone. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and sewage, as well as a water leak.

More recent issues include a window frame complaint in April 2021, which was classified as an emergency but ultimately resulted in no violations being issued. The building has had several violations related to safety requirements, including a 2020 citation for missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices in the first-floor public hall, and a 2021 violation regarding an illegal double-cylinder lock in Apartment 2R. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports submitted between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested units or eradication cases.

Notably, there was a recent inspection in April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting compliance, which resulted in a violation, marking the first instance of this issue in several years. The building has also received multiple housing maintenance code violations between 2020 and 2021, including a 2020 violation for defective fire egress from Apartment 2R, and various maintenance issues such as broken plaster and paint conditions in the kitchen of the same apartment. A permit was issued in November 2020 for an unspecified alteration (job number 340781844), but no further details are available from the provided data.
