57 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

57 Halsey Street is an 8-unit, 4-story brick building built in 1892 and currently owned by Pernilla Avital. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with rodent activity being the most persistent concern. Multiple rodent-related complaints were filed between 2022 and 2023, with the most recent complaints in June 2023. However, following these complaints, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, including an inspection as recent as February 2025.

The building has also faced challenges with basic services and building maintenance. In late 2022, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues, as well as concerns about mold, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Other maintenance violations have included plumbing issues (resolved in January 2022), and several safety-related violations documented during a 2017 inspection. These included problems with sprinkler heads, a defective door in the vestibule, and improper signs regarding smoke detector requirements.

However, all these violations have since been resolved, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation being recorded in April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with reports filed between 2020 and 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units. Regular inspections have demonstrated compliance with safety requirements, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2021 before the building began consistently passing rodent inspections. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations and service requests, though access issues have sometimes hindered inspections.
