566 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, 34-unit apartment building at 566 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by DK Holdings LLC, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced notable maintenance challenges throughout 2025. Most significantly, between January 2025 and February 2025, there were multiple emergency service requests related to heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, including a concerning incident involving a broken or missing window guard. The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns, with two separate complaints about chemical vapors and gases in January 2025.

A mold-related violation was documented in late January 2025, with HPD unable to complete their inspection due to access issues. The building's recent history shows recurring issues with basic building systems and safety features. Between 2020 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations, including a significant 2019 ECB violation regarding safety features such as missing sight guards, fire signs, ADA compliance, and maintenance of hoistway and car door components.

Detailed housing maintenance code violations from January 2020 indicated multiple issues in Apartment 1I, including water leaks, mold, and problems with safety devices such as carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2021, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing no infestations, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024. The building's recent bedbug reporting history shows zero units affected from 2021 to the present, indicating effective pest management protocols in this regard.
