751 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

751 Dekalb Avenue, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 751 Dekalb Realty LLC. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with 2024 being particularly eventful. Multiple complaints were recorded between January and February 2024, including issues with pests, water leaks, wall problems, and electrical outages, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Of particular concern was an infestation of mice documented in apartment 5F in January 2024, along with water leak issues affecting multiple units. More recent complaints include a plumbing water supply issue in August 2024, though this was ultimately closed without violations being found. The building's history includes various structural and maintenance concerns, with inspection reports from 2024 noting cracks on walls in apartment 5F.

The property has also undergone several Department of Buildings inspections, revealing issues such as a defective self-closing door in the public hall bulkhead and previous complaints about building shaking in 2022. While there were violations recorded in 2024 related to pest infestation, water leaks, and wall conditions, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed recent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, and there have been no reported cases of bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and outstanding issues, with some complaints requiring multiple inspections and follow-up actions.
