687 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The property at 687 Bradford Street in East New York is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Preston Cheeks. The building has a concerning history of open housing maintenance code violations, with the most significant being a recurring failure to file the required annual bedbug report for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024.

Additionally, in September 2018, multiple violations were recorded indicating maintenance issues that could affect resident quality of life, including defective plaster surfaces and paint problems in the second story public hall and apartment 2F, as well as issues with vinyl floor tiles in both the public hall and 2F's kitchen. That same month, violations related to fire safety were documented but were subsequently closed in September 2018, including requirements to post proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices in common areas.

Though there was a rodent inspection conducted in 2011 and 2012, all of which passed, these inspections predate the more recent maintenance issues. The persistence of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements, which may signal broader management challenges within the building.
