841 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

841 Halsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Vanessa Cantave. Built in 1910, this old law tenement has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating issues, with three separate complaints about heat/hot water problems in late 2023 that HPD could not confirm due to lack of access.

The building has also faced multiple plumbing-related complaints in 2024, including radiator and sink issues, with some violations documented. A concerning pattern of maintenance violations emerged in late 2024, with multiple inspections revealing problems requiring attention, including issues with self-closing doors, carbon monoxide detectors, and lead paint hazards. Currently, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to unfiled external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2021. The building's recent history shows some promising aspects of building management, particularly in pest management, as demonstrated by consistent bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2021.

Regular rodent inspections have all passed since 2021, indicating effective pest control measures. The property has undergone several inspections in 2024-2025, with multiple emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance code complaints being resolved. These included critical safety issues such as fire escape and door security concerns, all of which were addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various systems, though the recurring heating issues and unfiled safety inspections indicate some areas requiring continued oversight.
