430 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 12-unit, three-story building at 430 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Levitan, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of heat and hot water disruptions affecting the entire building, with documented complaints in 2024, 2022 (November and October), and 2021, though in each case the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was informed that services had been restored. A concerning asbestos complaint was reported in June 2024, with the property management receiving an advisory to address the issue.

The building has also faced safety concerns, including broken window guards in 2019 that resulted in violations, though these were later documented as corrected. The property has undergone various inspections and faced several violations and maintenance requirements, including a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, which was ultimately dismissed. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2021 and 2022, including issues with self-closing doors, encumbrances in public areas, and required postings of registration information.

The building's systems and infrastructure have been subject to regular inspections, with some deficiencies noted in 2019 regarding bathroom facilities in Unit 3. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units. Rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with rat activity documented in 2016 and 2022, but passing inspections most recently in 2024 and 2025. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive management to most issues, though some recurring problems suggest ongoing challenges with building systems.
