77 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

77 Halsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1892, currently owned by Pascal Pelat and classified as a Converted Class A building. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2024 and early 2022, though inspections did not verify violations in most cases.

The building faced electrical and sanitation concerns in 2025, including a no-lighting issue and garbage/recycling storage problems, both of which were closed without violations being found. There have been several significant maintenance and compliance matters, including multiple failures to file required bedbug reports between 2018 and 2024, and various Department of Buildings complaints related to bulging/cracked walls and alleged illegal conversions, with some violations being served and others resulting in no violations being found upon inspection. The property has maintained consistent rodent inspection success, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025.

While there were some serious maintenance issues documented, such as a July 2021 pest infestation warranting violations and various safety equipment concerns in 2019 (including missing smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and defective buzzer system in the Garden apartment), most recent inspections and reports have shown improved conditions. The building's most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no confirmed infestations, and rodent control measures appear to be effective. However, there are several active ECB violations as of 2024 regarding failure to comply with previous commissioner orders, with associated penalties totaling $2,530, which suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
