356 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

356 Bradford Street is a 2-family, 2-story house built in 1901, currently owned by Alisha Islam and located in East New York. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services. In October 2022, there was a notable cluster of complaints about heat and hot water issues, with several emergency reports filed between October 15-19, including one for an inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 2 and multiple heating complaints with violations issued.

The building also faced multiple safety concerns during this period, including a broken window guard and cooking gas problems, while electrical issues were documented through power outage and outlet complaints, none of which resulted in violations. A rodent infestation was documented between 2018-2019, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspections in 2022 and 2019 passed. There are two open violations from 2022 that require attention: one for lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1's kitchen door frame and another regarding peeling paint in multiple rooms of Apartment 1. The building's history includes various safety concerns, with earlier violations from 2019 showing issues with heat, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical outlets in Apartment 1, as well as documented rodent problems that required multiple bait applications.

Notably, during the October 2022 complaints, HPD faced difficulties gaining access to units during inspections, which could indicate challenges with communication or cooperation for building inspections. The building's condition has shown some improvement over time, with several older violations from 2019-2020 remaining open, particularly regarding heating, electrical systems, and pest control. While recent inspections in 2022 resulted in some violations being issued, no additional serious safety concerns have been documented in recent months. The property's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges have been present, with some improvements in resolution times and inspection responses noted since 2019, though several open violations remain as of the most recent data update.
