2301 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2301 Bedford Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located in Flatbush and constructed in 1899, currently owned by Astley Shields. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, with four documented power outage incidents in November 2020 alone, three of which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations. A subsequent power outage in February 2021 was examined but couldn't be fully assessed due to access issues.

Multiple violations were issued during a November 2020 inspection, including three open violations related to safety requirements: one concerning carbon monoxide detection device requirements, another regarding gas leak notification procedures, and a third concerning the building's registration information. There were additional safety-related violations regarding door self-closing mechanisms and electrical service adequacy in Apartment 1. The building's inspection history shows improvements in certain areas, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five annual filings between 2019 and 2025, and a rodent inspection in April 2018 resulting in a "Passed" status, following an initial rat activity report in March 2018.

More recent inspections in March 2023 and February 2022 noted bedbug reporting compliance issues, though these appear to have been resolved in subsequent filings. As of the most recent bedbug report in May 2025, there have been no documented infestations or eradication efforts in any units, suggesting successful pest management. While the building has had multiple code violations over the years, many appear to have been addressed, though some electrical and safety-related issues from 2020 still warrant attention based on their 2020 inspection dates.
