4429 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 4429 Bedford Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Ercan Serpin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, with particular emphasis on heating and plumbing problems. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of heat and hot water failures, including two emergency complaints in October 2024 alone, with the most recent being in November 2024 where HPD was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, including problems with water supply and radiator systems, with four separate complaints registered between September and November 2024. While one of the water supply issues from September 2024 was inspected with no violations found, several other HPD inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to access issues, leading to closed complaints and the suggestion to refile if problems persisted.

The building's maintenance record shows a troubling pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, with multiple complaints related to basic utilities like heat and water supply. The pattern of service requests, particularly during the fall months of 2024, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems that have required multiple emergency responses from HPD. The inability of inspectors to gain access to units during several inspections, as noted in multiple resolution descriptions, is a notable concern in the building's recent history.
