308 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

308 Bedford Avenue is a three-story, three-unit building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by George Newshan and constructed in 1910. The property has incurred several notable incidents over recent years, with the most recent events occurring in early 2025 involving multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections related to food establishment facilities, including toilet facilities and letter grading.

The building has also experienced recurring issues with rodent control, displaying a pattern of rat activity in 2019 and 2021, though recent inspections in 2022 showed improvement with several passed inspections. During the 2021-2022 period, there were multiple violations related to vaccine mandate non-compliance, primarily concerning checks of customer proof of vaccination, which were officially acknowledged by the city as requiring attention to ensure proper enforcement of safety protocols.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with six consecutive annual filings between 2020 and 2024 reporting zero infested units or eradications. The building's overall health and safety compliance has shown some improvement over time, particularly in recent years where the majority of inspections have resulted in passed findings, though the frequency of complaints regarding toilet facilities and food establishment issues in 2025 indicates ongoing monitoring may be necessary. The Williamsburg building's historical data from 2019-2022 suggests a pattern of addressing compliance issues promptly, with most complaints being officially closed and inspections resulting in passing grades when violations were investigated.
