689 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 689 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Wendy Mcclinton, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple open violations as of 2025. Most notably, Apartment 3B has open Class A violations from October 2023 regarding water leaks, mold conditions, paint requirements, and issues with doors and cabinets, though some violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2024 were marked as closed in February 2024. The building has shown recurring maintenance patterns, with several HPD service requests in 2025 (including ventilation system and cabinet issues with violations issued) and 2024 (lighting, unsanitary conditions, and pest complaints that HPD could not inspect).
An April 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in 3B, including water leaks, mold, and paint issues, though some previously observed mold violations from 2023 were marked as closed in February 2024. The building's maintenance history shows periodic bedbug infestations between 2018-2023, though recent filings from 2023-2025 indicate no current infestations. The property has passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, suggesting current pest control measures are effective.
The most recent 311 service requests in 2025 also included various maintenance issues such as problems with the ventilation system, lighting, and doors, some of which resulted in violations being issued. While some complaints have been closed with violations, others from 2024-2025 were either not inspected or required re-inspection, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history suggest typical tenement maintenance issues, though the frequency and variety of recent complaints indicate potential ongoing maintenance concerns that may affect resident comfort.
