753 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

753 Dekalb Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Impacct Preservation LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints between 2019 and 2024, including three separate incidents within December 2024 alone (both for apartment-specific and building-wide outages).

Most recently, in December 2023, violations were documented regarding inadequate heat supply to unit 4A and locked access to the boiler room, although these violations were certified as corrected by December 2023. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues in 2019 and an indoor sewage-related complaint from July 2019. Despite these infrastructure issues, recent inspections indicate improved overall conditions.

The building has passed multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, suggesting effective pest management. Additionally, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases between 2021 and 2024, and the only historical instance from 2017-2018 was reportedly resolved. While the building has experienced recurring heating system challenges, the recent certification of violations and the pattern of prompt inspections suggest ongoing efforts to address maintenance issues, though access problems during inspections remain a recurring theme across multiple complaints.
