795 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
795 Dekalb Avenue is a 20-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant recent problems emerging in Spring 2025, including violations for unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), flooring issues, and a problematic smoke detector - all of which received inspections and violations requiring correction.
The building has also faced several maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, including water leaks, wall paint/plaster issues, and a heat/hot water problem affecting individual apartments. Notable violations were documented in late 2024 for Apartment 5A regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and in mid-2024 for Apartment 5C involving multiple repair needs including wall surfaces, door issues, and a confirmed roach infestation, though all violations have since been closed. The property has maintained rodent control compliance in recent years, passing inspections consistently between 2022 and 2025, except for one rat activity report in February 2022.
Bedbug reports show minimal activity, with one confirmed case in 2024. The building's recent service requests and violations, particularly those related to unsanitary conditions and safety concerns like the smoke detector issues, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. However, the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to inspections and violations, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations through corrective actions or repairs.
