740 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

740 Dekalb Avenue is a 37-unit, 7-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Har Nevo. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being an open HPD complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions from May 2025. Other notable recent events include a heat/hot water issue in April 2025 that was reportedly resolved, and multiple successful rodent inspections in 2025, with the building currently maintaining compliance with rodent control requirements.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of compliance with health and safety requirements, having passed multiple rodent inspections since 2022, though there was one instance in January 2022 where rat activity was detected. The property has faced some regulatory challenges, including a failure to file the Cycle 9B critical examination report for exterior walls in 2024, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty and was subsequently resolved. Historical complaints about door/window issues in December 2018, and heating systems in 2025, have been addressed through HPD inspections.

Notably, the building underwent a significant bedbug infestation period in the 2021-2022 reporting period, with 37 units affected, though subsequent reports from 2022 onwards show zero infested units. The elevator system has been subject to scrutiny, with complaints in 2019 and 2024 being investigated but no violations found. The building has maintained good standing with health inspections, having passed all recent DOHMH inspections, with only one minor violation recorded in 2021 related to unsanitary animal conditions.
