4226 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The property at 4226 Bedford Avenue in Sheepshead Bay is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jianling Wu. The building has experienced several notable events regarding resident comfort and safety over the past few years.

Most recently, in April 2023, there was a reported rat sighting which prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection - the property passed this inspection. Between October 9-13, 2019, there were two emergency complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, but inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to verify the conditions, leading to the closure of these complaints. The building's history shows attention to pest management requirements, with violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though these violations were subsequently closed.

However, more recent bedbug reporting data from 2022 through 2024 consistently shows "0" infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management since the violation notices. The property's rodent situation appears to be under control as of 2023, with a passed initial inspection conducted in May 2023 following the rat sighting complaint. The building's documented history suggests that while there have been past issues with heat/hot water and pest management requirements, these problems have been addressed, and recent inspections have shown improved compliance with health and safety regulations.
