564 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

Located in East New York, 564 Bradford Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Subhana Chowdhury. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaints in July 2024 regarding an electric/gas range and door access issues, though HPD was unable to gain entry for inspection. A pattern of water-related problems is evident, with multiple complaints including heavy flow leaks and damp spots reported in June 2023, some of which resulted in HPD violations.

The second-floor apartment (2R) has been particularly affected by multiple violations including mold, water leaks, and various maintenance issues that remain open as of the most recent inspections, including concerns about smoke detector functionality, ceiling leaks, roach infestation, and various door and surface repairs needed. The building's record shows several emergency service requests between 2023-2024, primarily related to plumbing issues, doors, and unsanitary conditions, though most inspections resulted in either no violations or the inspectors being unable to gain access. Violation notices from 2023 indicate ongoing concerns with building maintenance, including an open violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements.

A concerning pattern of unresolved maintenance issues is apparent, with multiple citations for various building code violations and a history of complaints about the building's infrastructure and maintenance services. While the property has passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, more recent pest control issues have been documented. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access to investigate.
