2181 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2181 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Winona Ramelize, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2023, the building faced inspections related to pest infestations and mold issues, with violations being issued specifically for mice infestation in apartment 3L.

This followed a concerning period in December 2022 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water outages, though these issues were subsequently resolved according to HPD records. The property has documented multiple internal maintenance problems in 2023, including water leaks, and issues with paint/plaster, doors/windows, plumbing, and electrical systems, all of which were categorized as non-emergency situations. The building's 2023-2024 inspection records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 3L, which has been the focus of multiple violations involving mold, water leaks, and plaster/paint issues.

As of June 2023, there was an active violation related to the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. However, there has been notable improvement in pest management since then, with the most recent bedbug report (filed June 2025) indicating zero infested or previously infested units for the 2023-2024 reporting period. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges, the management has generally responded to complaints, with most issues being resolved through inspections and repairs, though some violations remain open as of the latest data.
