724 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 5-story, 14-unit apartment building at 724 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moshe Saurimpter, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with particular issues emerging in 2025. Most notably, there were two recent complaints about pest infestations in March 2025, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. Other maintenance issues in 2025 included problems with doors and heat/hot water systems, some of which were resolved promptly while others went uninspected due to access issues.

The building has a history of pest-related concerns, with violations noted in August 2024 regarding cockroach infestations in Apartment 1G, along with multiple maintenance issues including problems with windows, leaking faucets, and plastered surfaces that required attention. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections between 2020 and 2025. While bedbug reports filed annually between 2021 and 2025 show zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest.

The building's 2024 environmental control board violation for facade maintenance resulted in a $250 penalty, though records indicate this was resolved. Historical records show a DOB violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, which remains active as of 2023. The building has been subject to regular HPD inspections, with most violations being promptly addressed, though recent access issues have hindered resolution of some complaints. The property maintains an active status as a 1931 New Law Tenement building and has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by the multiple complaint resolutions and violations noted in the records.
