2522 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 26-unit, 4-story tenement building at 2522 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Steven Neuman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were newly reported problems with both ceiling paint/plaster and heavy water leakage, with violations issued for the former. In 2023, an inspection revealed multiple violations in apartment 3C, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water leaks, pest infestation, and various ceiling and wall problems, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by July 2023.

The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, with multiple pest-related complaints in late 2022, and several bedbug infestations reported between 2019 and 2024, peaking at 6 infested units in the 2022-2023 reporting period. Additional maintenance concerns have included a power outage and mailbox issues in June 2023, as well as a construction-related partial stop work order issued in January 2022. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections over the years, with several violations being addressed and closed, including those related to emergency repair requirements and safety equipment.

While some issues have been resolved, such as the 2022-2023 pest violations, the building continues to experience recurring problems, as evidenced by the recent 2025 complaints. The Department of Buildings currently shows an active violation from January 2022 regarding a stop work order related to application #340752484. The property has demonstrated some level of responsiveness to identified violations, with many being certified as corrected, though there remains at least one currently open violation from 2023 related to electrical service.
