1993 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1993 Bedford Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Brenda David, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, most notably two heat and hot water emergencies in February 2025 that affected both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating problems followed a pattern of maintenance concerns, including multiple violations issued in January-February 2025 for various conditions such as pest issues, and problems with doors/windows, ceilings, floors, walls, and cabinets.

The building's heating system maintenance has been particularly problematic, with a Defective/Inoperative Boiler complaint and an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2023 for failure to provide access to the heating system/boiler room, along with a penalty of $250. Historical records indicate persistent maintenance challenges, particularly concerning Apartment 3R, which had multiple open violations from 2018 related to mold, wall and ceiling plaster issues, floor problems, and window repairs.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years, with no infested units reported in the last two annual filings (2022-2024), there was one infested unit recorded in 2021 that had been eradicated. The property has also experienced some permit-related issues, with inspection attempts in late 2018 resulting in "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" and "No Violation Warranted" determinations. The building's rodent inspections in 2018 showed mixed results, with an initial failure followed by compliance on re-inspection.
