313 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

313 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Rosemary Padilla and constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has been facing persistent rodent and pest control issues over the past several years, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints related to food establishments and rodent sightings between 2022 and 2025. Most recently, there have been three related complaints about rodent and insect issues in 2024-2025, with the most recent service request closed in April 2025.

The building currently has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, and three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, as well as an unaddressed violation from January 2020 for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report. The building has undergone several rodent inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with mixed results. While initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 showed rat activity, subsequent compliance inspections generally passed.

The property appears to have proper monitoring in place, with inspections occurring regularly, though the recurring violations and multiple recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with pest control and building maintenance compliance. The inspection history shows a pattern of both passing and failing inspections, particularly during 2021-2023, with some inspections identifying rat activity as a concern. While the building has successfully passed some inspections, the pattern of violations and service complaints indicates these issues may not be fully resolved.
