2525 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 27-unit tenement building at 2525 Beverley Road, built in 1924 and currently owned by Yida Stern, has experienced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2025, particularly in the first half of the year. Recent complaints and violations point to persistent issues with water damage, including heavy water leaks and ceiling damage, as well as problems with heat and hot water systems.

In April 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, mold, and water leaks, though HPD inspections found that some conditions did not violate housing laws. The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and compliance inspections throughout 2025, with rat activity confirmed in January and July 2025. Looking at the building's history, there are ongoing concerns about unit C1, which has open violations from 2024 related to pest infestations (roaches and mice), while unit B1 had violations for excessive hot water temperature, water leaks, and ceiling damage.

The property has a documented history of failed access during inspections, with multiple complaints in 2019-2020 showing "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" disposition codes. However, the building has shown some compliance with addressing specific violations, as evidenced by the closing of various maintenance code violations, including those related to plaster, paint, and water issues. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last five inspection periods from 2019 to 2024, and a recent inspection in July 2025 for code compliance shows rat activity, indicating ongoing pest management challenges.
