448 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement at 448 Bradford Street in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Bradford 4 Kids Properties, Inc., has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years that merit attention. Most notably, the building has had recurring bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation in April 2024 requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings indicate no infested units during the 2022-2023 period.

The building underwent multiple inspections in June 2023, revealing several violations primarily affecting Apartment 2, including defective self-closing doors, unsafe electrical wiring conditions in the kitchen, and issues with fire escape window balances. Additional violations were noted during these inspections, including a defective scuttle cover latch in the public hall and various HMC violations which have since been closed, with at least one being certified as corrected by July 2023. The property has a somewhat mixed record regarding pest control, with rodent inspections showing a pattern of passing results in recent years, including April 2019, February 2014, and multiple passes in 2012.

While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that most violations identified during inspections have been addressed and closed, indicating ongoing compliance efforts by the current ownership. The most recent maintenance issues appear to have been primarily focused on specific units rather than building-wide problems, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing attention to pest management is required. The building's overall condition appears to have stabilized, with no new violations reported since mid-2023, though the long history of bedbug report violations indicates this may require continued monitoring.
