632 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

632 Halsey Street is a 2-family, 2-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Keser Trust. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, despite multiple bait applications throughout 2024 and 2025. The building underwent significant distress in 2021-2022, when it experienced structural concerns including floor sagging in apartment 2L, water leaks, and multiple health-related violations.

These issues led to numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including active penalties totaling $62,500 across multiple citations regarding building maintenance, water damage, and pest infestations. The property has a concerning history of violations related to habitability, particularly in 2021 when multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, were documented. A significant fire incident occurred in 2021-2022, resulting in the building being boarded up and generating multiple violations regarding secured entry points.

While some complaints from this period were resolved, several violations remain open as of the latest data. The building's management has faced challenges in maintaining compliance with health and safety standards, as evidenced by multiple failures to correct previously issued violations, creating a pattern of deferred maintenance and accessibility issues. The most recent rodent activity inspections suggest that pest control efforts are ongoing, but not entirely successful in eliminating the infestation problem.
