158 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 158 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Evline Toussaint, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Between late 2022 and early 2023, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, with violations issued in December 2022 affecting at least one apartment (1R), indicating persistent problems with this essential service. The building faced numerous plumbing-related complaints during the same period, though many were closed without violations, except for one inspection in November 2022 that resulted in violations.

More recently, between February and April 2025, emergency issues were reported regarding the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as a door-related problem, though these were subsequently closed. The building has also experienced pest management challenges, with multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests reported and addressed in early 2025. The property has a history of rodent inspection failures, with records showing failed inspections in 2012, 2015, and 2016, though these issues appear to have improved in recent years.

Significant violations remain open from late 2022 concerning lead paint hazards, safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), water supply issues, and other conditions in apartment 1R. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 consistently show no infestation activity, and recent filings indicate compliance with reporting requirements. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by the closure of many complaints and violations, the building continues to experience recurring issues with basic services and safety systems that require attention.
