AI summary · updated June 2026

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 909 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Remy Raisner, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are currently active DOB violations related to a loose brick parapet wall and cracked window sill/lintel issues on the building's south and west elevations, with an emergency work order issued in November 2024 requiring immediate public safety measures. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in September 2023 and December 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to access the affected apartments. In December 2024 alone, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), unsanitary conditions (pests), and mailbox concerns, though access issues prevented proper inspections in several cases. The building's recent history also includes a building shaking/vibrating complaint in March 2024 that was investigated but found no violations.

Disturbingly, there are currently two active violations that require attention: one for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition (as of January 2025) and a recently dismissed requirement to install sidewalk shed sections. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the most recent reports for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, these violations and recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property's history of unsanitary conditions, including documented pest issues in 2024 and earlier complaints, raises concerns about overall maintenance standards, despite some complaints being marked as resolved through occupant verification of corrections.
