2316 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 2316 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Jay Friedman, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges throughout 2024, particularly in recent months. Between November 9-15, 2024, multiple housing maintenance code complaints were filed and investigated by HPD, revealing issues including water leaks, mold, and pest infestations.

Notably, a Class C violation was issued regarding broken stairs with dislodged aluminum nosing, while several Class B violations were documented for the 3rd floor apartment (3L), including problems with pest infestations (mice and roaches), inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various structural repairs needed for floors and bathroom tiles. The building has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2016-2019 confirming this issue, though recent bedbug reports for 2022-2023 show no infestations.

During the November 2024 inspections, while some complaints were resolved without violations, several resulted in confirmed violations requiring correction, such as unsanitary pest conditions. The property has undergone inspection and resolution processes for various issues including plumbing problems, paint/plaster concerns, and general maintenance matters, though some inspections were either inconclusive or required re-inspection. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with both structural maintenance and pest control, with the most recent violations requiring attention to ensure proper correction within the specified timeframes.
