187A Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-family house at 187A Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Barbara Brown-Spence, has been standing since 1886 and has experienced several notable events in recent years.
Most significantly, the building has faced persistent rodent issues during 2022-2025, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity. The most recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management, though there were documented rat activity issues throughout 2023, including multiple instances in June and December of that year where bait was applied.
While the building has maintained an apparently successful bedbug prevention record from 2021 through 2024, with no infested units reported in any of the annual inspections, the consistent rodent problems represent the primary challenge to resident comfort and safety. The property is classified as a two-family house, indicating two separate residential units within the structure.
