2479 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 2479 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Marie Marcelle Francillon, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing current concern is a water leak with heavy flow that was reported in January 2024 and closed in June 2024 due to inspection access issues.

The building has a documented history of pest-related problems, including a cluster of rodent complaints in late 2021 where multiple reports were filed between September and November, and ongoing rodent management efforts in 2023 with multiple bait applications and inspections indicating rat activity as recently as February 2023. The property has faced various maintenance challenges requiring attention to building systems and safety features. Notable violations from October 2021, all pertaining to Apartment 7A, include defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, evidence of rodent and cockroach infestations, and the need for painting throughout the unit.

The building has also had issues with fire safety features, including a violation regarding broken fire retardant material in the third-story landing ceiling and problems with self-closing doors at the bulkhead in the public hall. While the building's most recent bedbug report from June 2024 indicates that all units were eradicated of infestations, there is a record of previous bedbug activity. The building's history also includes an electrical power outage incident in January 2020, though this appears to be an isolated event.
