835 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
835 Halsey Street, a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building built in 1910 in Bedford-Stuyvesant and currently owned by Howard Goldsmith, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint from April 2025 regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues that remains unresolved. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2021 affecting the entire building, though these were eventually resolved.
In 2019, there were two separate complaints about heavy water leaks, and the building experienced rodent problems in 2019, which were subsequently addressed. The property is currently facing several open housing maintenance code violations from inspections conducted in 2022 and 2024, including issues with self-closing doors in apartments 1L, 2R, and 3R, a mold condition in apartment 1L, ceiling plaster and paint issues in 1L, and a defect with the iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening. Additionally, there is an active violation from November 2019 regarding failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.
The building has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and most recently in 2025, all of which passed, indicating successful pest management efforts. While the building's bedbug report for the period of 2020-2021 showed no infestations, current open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 and 2024 inspections suggest potential compliance issues. The property has experienced various infrastructure and maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly in relation to heating systems, water issues, and interior maintenance, which have required multiple tenant complaints to address.
