867 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story converted old law tenement at 867 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shimshy Braver and built in 1910, has a mixed maintenance history over recent years. The most significant recent event occurred in September 2021, when the building experienced heat and hot water issues in apartment 2R, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for inadequate hot water supply and for a locked heating system access door in the basement - though these violations were subsequently closed.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing rat activity in May 2025, following a passed inspection in 2024. Earlier inspections in 2018 showed a pattern of rat activity and compliance issues, though most inspections since then have passed.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, which is a positive indicator for tenant comfort. The building's initial inspections in 2010 revealed some compliance failures, but subsequent improvements are evidenced by the absence of persistent violations. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly concerning heating systems and rodent activity, the overall trend shows some improvements, with no recent bedbug concerns and reduced frequency of major violations.
