701 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 2-story, 3-unit tenement building at 701 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Kunio Onodera and constructed in 1930, has experienced multiple heat and hot water issues over the past year, particularly during December 2024, with four separate complaints filed between December 1-26, three of which were marked as emergencies. The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations as of December 2024, including issues with self-closing doors (both at the building entrance and in Unit 2F), missing peep hole cover in Unit 2F, and multiple requirements related to safety notifications (smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures).

Inspectors also noted the need for proper signage regarding the building's registration number and housing information guide availability. Prior to the recent heat issues, the building had reported unsanitary conditions in November 2024, including mold and pest problems, with violations issued following inspections. While there was a plumbing complaint filed and investigated by the Department of Buildings in March-April 2024, no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.

The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings between 2020 and 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard. Historical rodent inspections from 2011-2012 show passing results, suggesting no significant rodent issues in recent years. Separate inspection results from October 2024 for door/window issues and general cabinet conditions found no violations of housing laws.
