300 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 300 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Juan Ramos and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with three urgent complaints in early 2025 (March 5 and 7) and several similar issues in late 2024. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect in some instances, while in others, no violations were found.

Water-related issues have also been prominent, with multiple complaints about heavy flow leaks in October 2023, though these were closed with no violations. The building has also faced challenges with window maintenance, evidenced by complaints in September 2024 regarding window frames and panes, with at least one inspection finding no violations. Additional structural safety concerns emerged in 2023, with violations related to fire safety equipment including non-self-closing doors in the cellar and first-story areas, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent annual bedbug report filings from 2018 through 2025, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods. Two violations from May 2023 remain open, concerning the need to address stagnant water in the cellar and clear obstructions from fire escape egress at the second-story balcony. While numerous service requests have been logged through NYC's 311 system, many were marked as closed without finding violations, suggesting ongoing communication between residents and building management regarding maintenance issues.
