249 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
249 Ashford Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in East New York, built in 1905 and currently owned by Vijykumar Basdeo. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with A-class violations issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules. A B-class violation from July 2023 remains open regarding a broken or defective window pane at the vestibule door in the public hall on the first story.
In terms of sanitation concerns, there was a 2022-2023 complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that was inspected by HPD with no violations found. Recent health and safety inspections have shown passing results for both rodent sightings and inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 and December 2024 both passing. A rodent sighting was reported and closed in November 2024 with no violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infested units, following a previous report in April 2024 that listed 6 eradicated units. The building's filing history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements since 2021, though there was a violation issued in June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, which was dismissed in July 2024. The property history suggests an ongoing attention to pest management, with bedbug and rodent issues being actively monitored and addressed, though there have been periodic lapses in regulatory compliance regarding reporting requirements. The building has a documented history of inspections passing standards for rodent presence, and recent bedbug reporting shows an improved status with no current infestations as of 2025.
