404 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 404 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Alicia Russell Crespo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple power outages reported in 2024-2025, with the most recent incidents occurring in May 2025, along with a cooking gas issue during the same period.

The building has also faced persistent heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building as recently as May 2025, and pest-related complaints that have been difficult to inspect. The property has outstanding Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024, including issues with light-colored paint requirements in Apartment 1, an unreliable intercom system, and a broken door frame. Other critical safety violations include the need to properly post various safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detectors in common areas.

The building's garbage and recycling storage areas have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints filed between 2024-2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in some instances. Historical records show rodent activity in 2019, with inspections showing rat presence, though a 2019 compliance inspection passed. The building's age (built in 1901) and classification as an old law tenement contribute to its being subject to various maintenance requirements under New York City's housing regulations.
