829 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

829 Halsey Street is a three-story, six-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Izzy Twerski. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, including four complaints in May 2025 alone, though some were duplicates of existing reports.

Recent inspections have shown problems with maintenance and safety features, including open violations as of October 2024 regarding a bathroom door, water leak, and ceramic tile issue in apartment 2L, as well as past concerns about the fire door in the second-story public hall. Historical data from 2020-2021 indicates several tenant safety and work compliance issues, including violations related to tenant protection plans and stop work orders, with corresponding penalties issued through the Environmental Control Board totalling $6,250. The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with active violations noted for failure to file annual boiler inspections as of 2023, though previous complaints about the boiler system in 2024 were found to have no violations warranting action at the time of inspection.

There is a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing periods of rat presence between 2021-2025, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 either failed for "Other Reasons" or passed. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation cases, with only one documented instance in 2020-2021, and all subsequent reports indicating no units affected between 2021-2023. While there have been several permits issued for work on the building between 2019-2021, the consistent pattern of heating system complaints and maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure and systems management.
