2619 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 2619 Bedford Avenue building in Flatbush, owned by David Fried, is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law tenement constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most notable recent problems occurring between late 2024 and mid-2025, including multiple unaddressed complaints about flooring, stairways, and unsafe conditions. In June 2025, multiple emergency and non-emergency violations were documented, including issues with mold, ceiling problems, windows, various plumbing fixtures, and flooring.

The building's history shows persistent bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports (2024-2025) documenting infestations in 2 units, though all were subsequently eradicated. A series of violations were noted in late 2024 related to building safety and maintenance, including defective stairs, door issues, and a failure to maintain proper safety notices in common areas. Previous maintenance history reveals a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding complaints in late 2024, where inspectors were unable to gain access multiple times.

There were also plumbing and heating system issues reported in early 2024, though these were resolved. The building experienced roof leaks affecting Apartment 4A in October 2023, along with multiple other violations concerning plaster surfaces and window conditions in that unit. Historical data shows three illegal conversion complaints between 2019-2020, though no violations were confirmed. Regular bedbug reporting shows periodic infestations, with most being successfully eradicated, and a record of rodent inspections passed in 2017.
