Augrented Insights Report for 669 Halsey Street

At 669 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building owned by Joel Berkowitz, recent records from 2025 indicate ongoing heat and hot water issues, with two emergency complaints filed and resolved in January 2025. The building has experienced recurring heating system problems, with similar complaints in 2024, 2022, and 2021.

Maintenance issues have been documented, including a 2024 roof door/hatch problem and pest control concerns, with violations issued in 2024 for unsanitary conditions related to pests. The building underwent multiple inspections for water leaks and paint/plaster issues in 2022, with no violations found in those cases. Significant maintenance violations were documented in late 2022 and early 2023, primarily affecting apartment 3R, including issues with bathroom fixtures, plumbing, and plastered surfaces.

Security system problems were identified in February 2023, involving the building entrance's locking device and intercom system. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, though rodent inspections yield mixed results, with the most recent June 2025 inspection showing rat activity, following a previously passed inspection in May 2024. While the building's age (built in 1910) and history suggest typical wear and maintenance requirements, the recurring heating system problems and pest control issues appear to be the most significant ongoing challenges for residents.
