526 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

526 Kosciuszko Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant that was constructed in 2016 and is currently owned by Erez Levy. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2023 involving electrical problems and smoke detector issues - both classified as emergencies by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Inspections for these complaints, filed in November 2023, were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has a documented history of mold problems, with complaints filed in September 2021 and July 2023, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. In July 2023, several violations were identified, including issues with self-closing doors in Apartment 1 and various safety notice requirements, though most of these were subsequently certified as corrected by August 2023. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent results showing passing conditions in 2024 and 2025.

However, there were documented instances of rat activity recorded in October 2023 and November 2023. The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of NYC residential properties, including water leaks and sanitation concerns, there is evidence of active management response to violations and compliance with inspection requirements. The most pressing current issues appear to be the unresolved electrical and smoke detector problems, which have been outstanding since November 2023 due to access issues during inspections.
