597 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

597 Bradford Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building located in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Jiereh Bowen. The building has a notable pattern of open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 and dating back through 2021.

These violations indicate non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements as dictated by HPD rules. Additionally, there is one department of buildings complaint from September 2018 regarding an illegal conversion, though records show the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt in October 2018. The building's rodent inspection history shows three consecutive successful inspections from 2011 to 2012, though there were two failures in 2010 - August (initial) and September (compliance).

While the failed rodent inspections from 2010 are now quite dated, they do indicate that some pest management issues have historically affected this property. The property has maintained a relatively stable unit count throughout its history, despite the illegal conversion complaint, which remains unresolved in terms of inspection results. The persistent bedbug reporting violations over multiple years and the historical rodent issues suggest that pest management and compliance with housing regulations have been ongoing challenges for this building.
