211 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit building at 211 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Michelle Neugebauer, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently in November 2024 when the entire building reportedly lacked both services. This follows a similar complaint in November 2022, indicating ongoing problems with the heating system. The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints between July 2022 and 2024 regarding heavy flow and slow leaks.

Recent inspections from October 2023 revealed several open violations that require attention, including issues with self-closing doors, damaged latches, and encumbrances in the 4th-story public hall. Notably, there were also violations regarding safety equipment, with missing or defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 1A and 1B, though these were certified as corrected by early 2024. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues from 2019 through 2025, including a 2023 violation for a mouse infestation in apartment 1A and various unresolved complaints from 2022.

While there was a complaint about building shaking/vibration in July 2021, the inspector was unable to gain access to investigate. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all recent filings showing zero affected units. Prior to the recent heating issues, the building underwent multiple inspections between 2019-2024 with varying results, including an initial rodent inspection in 2012 which passed. The persistence of heating system problems and various open violations, particularly related to building safety and habitability, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this century-old tenement building.
