2835 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The six-story, 47-unit apartment building at 2835 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Carlos Orduz, has demonstrated recurring issues with building systems and maintenance over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system failures, with the most recent occurring in December 2024 affecting the entire building. The building has also experienced persistent electrical system problems, including lighting issues in both 2024 and 2018, and a power outage incident in 2018 that resulted in violations.

A concerning set of violations remains open from 2019 regarding the lack of required safety notifications related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and lead paint hazards in common areas, though some lead-related violations previously noted in Apartment 5B from 2018 appear to have been closed. Recent structural concerns were raised in 2023, with two complaints about building shaking or vibration, though no violations were found during inspections. An elevator service issue was documented in December 2020, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation for various elevator system deficiencies, which was resolved with a $1,250 penalty.

The building's maintenance record shows generally low occurrences of pests, with only one documented bedbug infestation in 2020 affecting four units, though subsequent years show zero infestations. While rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018 show some initial violations, more recent inspections in 2018 resulted in passing grades. The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, and there have been no recent heat-related violations since the complaints were addressed.
