456 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 456 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Cuthbert Albert, has significant ongoing maintenance issues as of 2025. The building has experienced recurring problems with heating and hot water, with the most recent complaint in April 2025 going unresolved due to lack of access for inspection.

A cluster of complaints from December 2024 related to various maintenance issues including electrical problems, appliance concerns, and unsanitary conditions all faced similar inspection access issues. More recently, in mid-2025, multiple violations were recorded including problems with pests, mold, water leaks, plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower and basin/sink, and various problems with walls and doors, all of which received emergency or non-emergency status for prompt attention. The building has documented housing maintenance code violations primarily centered around Apartment 1A, including issues with floor tiles, plumbing fixtures, and gas range connections, with some violations remaining open as of the latest inspection.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2022-2025), rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent passing inspection in 2019 and earlier failures in 2014. A Department of Buildings complaint from 2023 regarding improper vent/exhaust installation also resulted in inspection access issues. The building, constructed in 1930, possesses typical age-related maintenance challenges but has experienced particularly notable problems with inspection access in recent years, complicating resolution of numerous complaints.
