810 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 810 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Saul Klen and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance and compliance challenges over recent years. Notably, there was a series of plumbing-related emergency complaints in January 2022 involving water supply issues, toilet problems, heavy water leakage, and steam pipe concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has also faced significant rat activity issues, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing consistent problems, though a pass was recorded in April 2025. A serious safety incident occurred in January 2020 when plywood fell from the roof to the street, damaging a car and resulting in a $1,250 Environmental Control Board violation. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations.

Several open Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified in 2020 related to safety and information postings in common areas, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and various inspection certificate display obligations. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the lack of recent violations or serious complaints suggests some stabilization in building conditions. However, the recurring rodent activity and outstanding safety posting violations from 2020 warrant attention.
