2575 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 2575 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Joel Iliovits, has a significant history of maintenance issues since 2022. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint that was resolved after HPD contacted the complainant. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and electrical problems, with multiple complaints about water supply and lighting issues in 2023 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues.

December 2022 was particularly notable for multiple violations being documented, including plumbing issues with a sink in the third-floor apartment, along with problems related to flooring, heating, and an unsanitary mold condition. The third-floor apartment (3RDFLO) was found to have several specific violations that required attention, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms, smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detection, and issues with bathroom fixtures. The property has shown some improvements in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) indicating zero infested or re-infested units, and a passed rodent inspection in March 2024 after earlier failures in 2023 and 2022.

Multiple recent complaints about door/window issues were recorded in 2023, all classified as emergencies, and there have been three emergencies related to heat/hot water systems between 2022 and 2025. The building's violation history shows a mix of Class A and B violations, with some requiring immediate attention such as safety and maintenance issues affecting the third-floor apartment. The property successfully completed its bedbug reporting requirements for 2023-2024, showing no infestations during that period.
