428 Stratford Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

428 Stratford Road is a 4-story, 23-unit residential building located in Flatbush, built in 1910 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Solomon Landau. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues over the past several years, with nine documented HPD complaints between March 2021 and December 2024, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

Most recently, in December 2024, an entire building heat/hot water complaint was reported and verified by HPD. The building's maintenance record shows four consecutive years (2021-2024) of failing to submit annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though official bedbug reporting from 2021-2024 shows no infested or re-infested units. The property has several open violations from 2020 related to fire safety, including obstructed fire escapes (flower pots on second story balcony), damaged fire-retardant materials in the north wall at public hall bulkhead, and electrical safety concerns regarding missing safety caps or covers at electric outlets in the public hall.

In 2019, violations were recorded for improper maintenance of the courtyard and missing window guards in public areas. While the building had one rat sighting in October 2022, it passed subsequent rodent inspections in October 2022 and October 2011. The property has demonstrated issues with temperature control systems throughout the documented period, with particular attention needed to the consistency of heat and hot water availability across multiple years.
