103 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 103 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joe Central Brooklyn LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing, heating, and rodent control. Most notably, from 2022 to 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat/hot water systems, including emergency responses in early 2025.

The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Several unit-specific problems have been documented, particularly in Apartment 2A, including issues with plumbing fixtures (sink, radiator, toilet), electrical systems, and compromised building elements such as plaster surfaces and door hardware. Recent investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2025 examined allegations of drinking water-related illness and rodent presence, both of which resulted in "no violations" findings.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues, with most complaints being addressed through inspections and repairs, though some instances required multiple follow-ups for resolution confirmation. Building systems have undergone periodic inspections for compliance with safety standards, including a July 2024 inspection related to sprinkler system requirements and various repairs to address identified violations. The property's environmental history shows consistent filings indicating no bedbug infestations over an eight-year period from 2019 to 2025, and inspections have generally shown compliance with rodent control measures, though there have been periods requiring bait application and additional monitoring.
