53 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 5-unit, 3-story brownstone at 53 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1885 and currently owned by Almeta Taylor, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Notably, there is an ongoing failure to comply with mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024.
Additionally, the building has six active violations related to missing external low-pressure inspection filings between 2018 and 2022, suggesting inadequate maintenance of the building's pressure systems. The property has had two significant electrical incidents, including a power outage in January 2025 that prompted an inspection attempt by HPD, and a 2021 report of mosquito problems that required departmental intervention. Despite these issues, there is some positive news regarding pest control efforts, as the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2022 through early 2025, with the exception of a single failure for "Other Reasons" in 2020.
All standing water complaints have been resolved, with a 2022 investigation finding no violations. While the building's age and location are typical for the neighborhood, the persistent pattern of bedbug report violations and recent electrical system problems warrant attention. The property maintained a relatively stable living environment in terms of rodent control, with inspections showing consistent compliance.
