835 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
835 Dekalb Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Leah Waldman. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, as evidenced by a recent February 2025 complaint that HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues. Between March and April 2024, multiple emergency complaints related to unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning mold, were filed and subsequently closed without violations being issued.
The building has a history of maintenance challenges, as shown by several Housing Maintenance Code violations and a pattern of unsanitary conditions involving pests, sewage, and air quality issues throughout 2023-2024. An August 2024 inspection resulted in multiple administrative violations related to safety notice requirements, though most were later certified as corrected. The building's infrastructure has faced various challenges, including emergency repairs needed for roofing, door issues, and plumbing concerns in April 2024.
There are two active DOB violations from 2023-2020 concerning the failure to file annual inspection reports for low pressure systems and boiler inspections. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown periods of rat activity, though some inspections resulted in passing grades. On a positive note, the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over multiple reporting periods between 2021-2025. The property continues to require attention to basic maintenance issues, as evidenced by the frequency of complaints and service requests, particularly during the 2024-2025 period.
