2015 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 2015 Bedford Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Paul Narajo and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heating system failures in late 2024, though Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm the conditions.

The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with multiple reports of infestations between April and June 2024, including at least one documented mouse infestation in apartment 1B that was addressed in July 2024. Other issues have included mold, water leaks, and concerns about garbage/recycling storage. Several housing maintenance code violations were issued in March 2024, particularly affecting apartment 4B, including requirements to repair damaged plaster surfaces, repaint, and address issues with the inoperative intercom system.

The building has an active open violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file various external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021, and a recent complaint regarding egress issues was documented in June 2025. While the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five years, rodent activity was documented in 2013 during inspections. The property has undergone various repairs and addressed multiple violations, including corrections to self-closing door issues at the building entrance in mid-2024, though several violations remain open or were certified without the current status being clearly defined.
