2337 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The building at 2337 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Cheskel Schwimmer, is a 6-story, 27-unit residential structure completed in 2019. The property has experienced several significant issues since construction, with the most pressing being an active complaint from May 2025 regarding an irregular Certificate of Occupancy status. Between 2019-2020, the building underwent various construction phases that drew multiple violations for safety and compliance issues, including failures to maintain proper guardrails, housekeeping standards, safety equipment, and daily worker training logs - all resulting in fines totaling $10,000.

The building has also faced recurring compliance challenges related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, with the most recent violation from December 2024 still pending disposition. Post-construction, the building's maintenance track record shows some concerning patterns. There was a rat sighting reported shortly after completion in September 2019, though subsequent inspections in 2019 and 2020 passed, suggesting this may have been an isolated incident.

A bedbug reporting record for the period of 2023-2024 shows zero infestations, though this follows a pattern of previous years also reporting no issues. The elevator service experienced an issue in October 2024, which was investigated in April 2025 but found to have no violations. The building's management has had to navigate various regulatory requirements, including multiple citations for incomplete energy efficiency filings between 2020-2021, though most of these violations were eventually dismissed upon proper challenge. As of 2025, while some issues remain unresolved, particularly regarding the Certificate of Occupancy status, the building's most recent bedbug and rodent inspection records indicate improved pest management.
