2324 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2324 Bedford Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Russell Carbone. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints and violations concerning basic utilities and safety systems. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with complaints filed in December and November 2024. The building has also faced electrical issues, including several power outage incidents in October 2024, for which violations were issued.

The apartment 2H appears to be experiencing significant ongoing problems, with multiple open violations related to water leaks, hot water temperature, electrical systems, and safety devices, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, including an unsanitary pest situation reported in February 2023 (which HPD could not inspect), plumbing issues in July 2024, and a period of ceiling paint/plaster problems in 2022-2023. Inspection attempts regarding potential illegal conversions were made in 2018, 2022, and most recently in 2024, though access was denied in several cases. The property has also been subject to rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and into 2025, suggesting an ongoing pest management issue.

Additionally, there was a recorded violation in 2018 regarding unauthorized occupancy of cellar space, which was subsequently vacated. As of now, there are several active violations from October 2024 related to apartment 2H, including inadequate gas supply, water leaks, excessive hot water temperature, electrical service issues, and problems with security systems. While some earlier issues have been resolved, the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has undergone numerous inspections and service requests, though access has often been a barrier to proper evaluation and resolution of many reported issues.
