Is 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 61 certifications filed and 46 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 223 Class C violations: 218 by the original certify-by date, 5 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since September 3, 2026. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Is 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program?

Yes. In HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program since February 2, 2026. HPD puts a group of buildings with serious, long-running violations into the program each year. While a building is in it, HPD can make repairs itself and charge the cost to the property, and the building stays in until HPD discharges it.

Does 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 8 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 7, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued January 3, 2017. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened October 30, 2025. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 13 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 17, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $4,020 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened January 28, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 27 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When was the boiler at 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn last inspected?

On November 24, 2025. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn built?

How many apartments does 2505 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn have?

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
