590 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

590 Dekalb Avenue is a 7-story, 111-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1984 and currently owned by Frank Lang. The property has recently experienced significant heat and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed between January 21-23, 2025, indicating either a building-wide or apartment-specific heating crisis. The complaints were ultimately closed when HPD could not gain access to conduct inspections.

Prior to these heating issues, the building faced various maintenance and pest control challenges, including recurring bedbug infestations, with four units reported as infested and subsequently eradicated between 2023-2025 records. The building has also dealt with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though a recent July 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has documented facade maintenance issues, with violations recorded in 2021 for defective conditions requiring repairs, resulting in penalties totaling $9,375, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

There have been multiple violations related to failure to file required annual reports, including bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022. The building's elevator and boiler systems have been subject to complaints, though inspections in 2020 and 2021 found no violations at the time of inspection. Recent rodent control efforts have been documented through bait applications and inspections, most recently showing improvement with a "Passed" status in July 2025.
