683 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

683 Halsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Vanessa Assanah. The property has experienced recurring electrical issues, with documented complaints in 2022 regarding both lighting and power outages, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has persistent bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with no records of certification for annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

Additionally, there are numerous active violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2021, as documented by the Department of Buildings in 2023. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant safety and maintenance concerns. In 2018, multiple violations were issued regarding self-closing doors at both the front entrance and roof access, along with various posting requirements related to gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and housing information guides.

There was also a noted issue with a leaking roof above the third-story public hall. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 resulting in failure for "Other Reasons," though previous inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2018 had passed. This combination of open violations, consistently missed inspection requirements, and recurring pest control issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, though it should be noted that many of these violations are procedural in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety or comfort.
