Augrented Insights Report for 279 Halsey Street

The 8-unit residential building at 279 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Velma Stoner and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout recent years, with three separate incidents in 2023 (most recently in October) and one in February 2023 affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, along with plumbing and appliance issues.

Notable violations from 2021 included problems with walls requiring repair, a defective refrigerator, and various plumbing issues, all affecting the 1R apartment. More recent concerns include an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection, and another from November 2019 for a missing annual boiler inspection report.

While there have been multiple bedbug reports, the most recent filing period (2020-2021) showed no infestations, and recent rodent inspections from 2022-2024 have consistently passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in September 2018. The building has maintained compliance with mandatory bedbug and rodent inspections in recent years, though there are two open bedbug reporting violations from 2022 and 2023 that remain unresolved as of April 2024.
