19 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-unit residential building at 19 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher McCoy and constructed in 1879, has experienced significant ongoing pest management challenges from 2022 through 2025. The property has had multiple reports and inspections related to unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning pests, with several Housing Maintenance Code Complaints between August 2022 and 2024 showing issues with rats, mold, and lighting problems, though no violations were ultimately issued for most of these complaints.
The building has four open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and there were serious safety concerns in May 2021 when illegal electrical wiring and unpermitted installations created potential shock hazards, resulting in two ECB violations with penalties totaling $2,700. Recent rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity and requiring bait application throughout late 2023 and early 2024. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 was marked as passed, suggesting some improvement in conditions.
The property has also undergone recent tenant safety inspections in January 2024, with violations served, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight. Despite these numerous and varied issues, most complaints have been resolved without formal violations being issued, though the pattern of complaints suggests recurring maintenance challenges. The building's history reflects typical urban maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest management, with some concerning safety violations that appear to have been addressed through compliance measures.
