1032 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 7-unit, 4-story residential building at 1032 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Brever, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2017. Most notably, there have been four electrical power outage incidents in the past two years (2024-2025), including a recent emergency in May 2025 where HPD was unable to complete an inspection. The building has also faced multiple water-related problems, with significant flow issues reported in March 2024 and slower leaks documented in February 2021.
Heating and hot water systems have been a recurring concern, with violations cited in 2022 for inadequate hot water delivery to apartment 3B, though no violations were issued during other heating complaints in 2021. The property has encountered several structural and safety-related issues, including problems with doors (April 2024), heating systems (2022), and a pest infestation (February 2021) that resulted in violations. Multiple bedbug reports have been filed, with the most recent inspections from 2022 showing no infested units, though there are open violations from 2023-2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicated rat activity, marking a concerning trend as previous inspections had varied results between passing and failing for other reasons.
The building's history also includes two complaints from 2020-2021 regarding illegal hotel rooms and conversion issues, but inspectors were unable to gain access during the inspections. The property was constructed in 2017 and received its initial permits in 2018, but has since faced ongoing maintenance challenges. The combination of recurring electrical outages, heating system issues, and recent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance concerns that impact resident comfort and safety. While many past complaints have been closed without violations, the frequency of certain issues and the presence of open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements are notable.
