1078 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1078 Dekalb Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Moses Karpen. Built in 1931, this property has undergone several inspections and faced various violations over recent years, with the most pressing current issue being an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report.
The building previously faced significant regulatory challenges in 2018, when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were recorded, including illegal transient use, lack of required safety systems, and inadequate means of egress - all of which were subsequently resolved with monetary penalties totaling $4,400. The property has shown consistent attention to pest management in recent years, with all three bedbug inspection reports in 2021-2022 showing zero infested or eradicated units. Recent rodent inspections have also demonstrated positive results, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing successfully.
While regular bedbug reporting requirements have been partially met (with 2022-2023 filings showing no infestations), the current open violation from 2024 indicates a lapse in compliance. The building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections since 2022, with only one recorded instance of rat activity in October 2022. The property holds a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" designation, suggesting prior classification issues have been resolved, and continues to be monitored under various compliance frameworks in New York City.
