117 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This two-story, three-unit residential building at 117 Bradford Street in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1901 and owned by Michele Butchar, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from 2022 related to apartment 2F, including problems with pest infestations (roaches and mice), missing carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues involving bathroom facilities and fixtures. The building has also faced recurring plumbing and appliance issues, with multiple 311 service requests in 2022 and 2021 regarding sinks, ranges, and heating systems.

An inspection in 2022 resulted in various citations, including flooring problems. More recently, as of April 2024, there are open violations concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though a comprehensive permit for plumbing work was issued in July 2024. The building's history shows some periodic attention to pest control, with inspections in 2011 and 2012 showing passed results, though recent violations indicate a deterioration in maintenance standards.

Earlier complaints from 2021 included concerns about heat and hot water systems, which were ultimately deemed not to require violations despite being reported as problems. A complaint regarding an illegal conversion from 2021 could not be investigated due to access issues. Despite these challenges, there appears to be ongoing effort to address building systems, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances in 2024 for plumbing-related work.
