2587 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, three-unit building at 2587 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Lennox Peters, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing rodent issue, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 confirming rat activity, following multiple bait applications earlier this year.

The building's sanitation concerns are underscored by current open violations from June 2024 regarding refuse accumulation affecting the building front, and a broken mailbox on the first story. The property has a documented history of pest problems, with several Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints in 2023 related to unsanitary conditions and pests, though some of these complaints were not able to be inspected due to access issues.

The building's infrastructure and safety systems have also required attention, including plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers in early 2023 (classified as emergency complaints), and various appliance concerns including refrigerator and cabinet problems. Multiple violations from August 2021 specifically point to serious issues in Apartment 2, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and reports of rodent and roach infestations, though some of these issues have since been addressed or closed through subsequent inspections. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for 2023-2024, showing no identified infested units during those periods, the property has required regular interventions for both pest control and general maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and HPD inspections through 2023-2025.
