824 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, 4-unit residential building at 824 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moishe Teitelbaum, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2021-2022. The building faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, with three separate pest-related complaints in May 2022 alone. Apartment 4 had specific documented problems with plumbing (basin/sink issues), a water leak, and a pest infestation in June 2022, which resulted in Class C violations requiring correction.

Other notable issues in 2022 included concerns about water supply, flooring, and wall conditions, though inspections generally found no violations for these complaints. The building has maintained a regular rodent inspection schedule, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing "Passed" results, though there were documented rat activity issues in 2021-2022. A concerning open complaint from June 2022 regarding construction lead dust in common areas remains in progress as of June 2022. The property has an active bedbug reporting history showing no infestations in recent years, with the latest report from July 2024 indicating no infested or re-infested units.

Housing violations history shows a mix of resolved issues and ongoing concerns, including a 2024 violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report. The building's maintenance issues appear to have stabilized since 2022, with improved compliance regarding rodent inspections and pest management. The property has undergone some plumbing work, as evidenced by permits issued in 2019, though specific details of these repairs are not documented in the inspection records. While the building has certainly faced its share of challenges, the most recent records suggest improvements in building maintenance and pest control management.
