671 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This three-story, six-unit tenement building at 671 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Larry Hirschfield, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of heating and water supply problems in early 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water affecting the entire building, which resulted in violations being issued to the property owner. The building has also faced recurring water supply issues, both building-wide and in individual apartments, with the most recent complaint in May 2025 concerning unsanitary sewage conditions.

In December 2024, multiple violations were documented, including problems with the entrance door lock, heating system access, radiators, and an infestation issue in apartment 3B, though some of these violations were later closed. The building's maintenance history shows an active response to these issues, with HPD conducting inspections and issuing violations that require the owner to make necessary corrections. The property has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections conducted in the past five years, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing compliance.

While there have been multiple bedbug reports, most recently in December 2024, these have generally indicated either no infestation or successful eradication of affected units. An open violation from June 2023 remains on the record regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation. The building's overall maintenance history shows a pattern of heating, water supply, and door-related issues, particularly concentrated in late 2024 and early 2025, while also demonstrating regular oversight and inspection by housing authorities, with most complaints being addressed through inspections or owner communications.
