1117 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11239

The four-story, eight-unit building at 1117 Ashford Street in East New York, owned by Kirk Goodrich, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since its completion. In September 2022, multiple housing maintenance code complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, along with ceiling paint/plaster issues and damp spots, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The building's construction history includes significant safety violations from March 2020, when three separate Environmental Control Board violations were issued against the construction company for inadequate safety measures and lack of guard rails during roof work, leading to penalties totaling $15,500. These violations were subsequently resolved, along with related Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to certify corrections of these immediately hazardous conditions. Recent records show no bedbug infestations in the building since 2020, with consistent reporting of zero affected units in all annual bedbug reports through 2025.

The building's permit history indicates proper documentation and issuance of various permits during and after construction, including plumbing, electrical, and foundation permits. More recent Department of Buildings complaints from 2021 through 2024 have generally resulted in no violations being warranted upon inspection, though one complaint regarding adjacent buildings was referred to the Department of Parks and Recreation. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) also shows no infestations or related issues, suggesting improved management of pest control since the building's construction.
