450 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 450 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Claudette Henry, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2025. Most notably, there are ongoing water-related problems in Apartment 1A, including active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of August 2024 for water leaks, mold, and pest infestations (cockroaches and mice) that have been classified as Class C violations indicating immediate concern. Additional violations were issued for bathroom maintenance issues including floor damage, ventilation problems, and water-damaged walls.

The building has also faced various emergency maintenance issues including flooring concerns, safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with lighting and appliance functionality. Recent inspections and complaints reveal continued structural and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a December 2024 complaint regarding building shaking or vibration, and an associated Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty related to bathroom floor sloping and water damage in Apartment 1. The property has a documented history of water-related issues affecting multiple units, with various service requests and violations related to water leaks, damp spots, and unsanitary conditions.

While the building has passed rat inspections in 2019, 2014, and 2012, there were documented pest issues in 2024. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2022-2025 show zero infestation cases, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. A notable recent development is a pending paint/plaster complaint from October 2023 that remains in progress as of April 2024, suggesting this issue has not yet been fully resolved.
