964 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-family house at 964 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by 964 Dekalb Ave 168 LLC, was constructed in 1920 and has shown a consistent pattern of passing rodent inspections over the past five years, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 yielding a "Passed" result. However, the property experienced a significant heat and hot water emergency in March 2023 that affected the entire building, particularly impacting Unit 3S where violations were documented for inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second room from the east on the third story.

This incident required inspection and resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though the status of these particular violations appears to be closed. In addition to the heating issues, there was a March 2023 complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which was investigated by HPD; while this complaint was closed, no violations were found.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to these heating and sanitation issues, with the most concerning event remaining the 2023 heating crisis that affected multiple tenants. Despite these issues, it's noteworthy that the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management practices.
