823 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 823 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Frankie Revells, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are persistent concerns about unauthorized occupancy and illegal modifications in the cellar area, with active violations from 2024 citing illegal Class A apartment conversion and unlawful gas range usage, though previous inspection attempts for these complaints were denied access. The property has also demonstrated recurring sanitation challenges, with multiple 311 complaints in 2023-2024 regarding conditions such as mold, garbage storage, and various plumbing issues, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions.
Recent issues include a June 2024 rodent-related complaint, following multiple rodent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though the most recent July 2025 inspection passed. The building's maintenance history reveals some infrastructure concerns, including a documented heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building in October 2023, with similar complaints about cabinet problems, plumbing issues, and garbage storage. Violations from March 2024 included requirements to maintain proper notices regarding tenant rights, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and concerns about unsafe access to the roof.
While there have been past pest-related issues (including documented bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in 2023), the building has successfully passed subsequent rodent inspections in 2025. The property has experienced two separate complaints regarding illegal conversion (2021 and 2024) with access denied during inspection attempts in both cases. Despite these challenges, there have also been multiple instances where inspections by relevant authorities have found no violations, suggesting some issues may be intermittent or could not be verified upon inspection.
