862 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
862 Dekalb Avenue is a 6-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by 862-866 Dekalb Realty LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in June 2025, and an active elevator service complaint entered in June 2025. Between 2022-2025, there were multiple instances of unsanitary conditions reported, including garbage/recycling storage issues and pest problems.
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing persistent rat presence in 2022-2024, though recent inspections in June 2025 and December 2024 passed. The property has faced recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2020-2023, requiring the filing of annual reports, though subsequent filings from 2024-2025 show zero infested units. Building systems appear to have maintenance challenges, particularly with the elevator, having received multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2019 and 2025.
Additional historical issues include emergency door/window problems in 2020, construction-related safety compliance concerns in 2019, and various permit-related work that was either completed or addressed through inspections between 2018-2020. While there have been several violations noted over the years, most have been promptly addressed or resolved through proper channels. The most recent rodent inspections (2024-2025) indicate some improvement, though the property's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with both building systems and pest control.
