437 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
437 Halsey Street is a 3-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Ellen Welch and constructed in 1886. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centered on electrical and door problems reported in June 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints. There is also an active violation related to the failure to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, with penalties totaling $6,250.
The building's rodent management history shows significant challenges, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025 revealing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in May 2024 passed. Between 2022-2023, there were several complaints about rodent and insect issues in food establishments connected to the property, along with a food poisoning report in December 2019. The building has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods (2019-2025).
Violations were issued in 2018 related to failure to comply with a Commissioner's Order, and the property has shown repeated issues with electrical systems and door maintenance. While some historical violations from 2018 have been resolved, active violations remain regarding external low-pressure system inspections. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's inspections from 2022 and 2023 have shown improvements, with some issues being addressed through administrative closures.
