528 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

528 Kosciuszko Street is a three-story, three-unit apartment building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, that was built in 1931 and is currently owned by Erez Levy. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with documented complaints about lack of heat or hot water in both 2022 (October and March) affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. An emergency violation was issued in March 2020 regarding heat and hot water problems.

The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020, with seven separate complaints filed in May and June 2020, including problems with water leaks (both slow leaks), ceiling paint/plaster issues, and pest-related unsanitary conditions, though no violations were issued following inspections. A significant maintenance violation from June 2020 (Class C) required roof repairs to address leakage issues in a third-floor utility closet. The building's safety compliance record shows several open violations from March 2020 related to building safety notices and equipment.

These include requirements to properly post gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and general building information, as well as a requirement to display the building's registration number. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2025, consistently indicating zero infested units during each reporting period. More recent concerns have emerged regarding rodent activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded in 2024-2025, showing persistent rat activity according to compliance inspections. While the bedbug situation appears well-managed with no reported infestations in recent years, the building continues to face challenges with heating system reliability, water issues, and now rodent control.
