263 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 6-unit, 2-story residential building at 263 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Alexander Musheyev and constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Most concerning is a recent mold-related complaint in November 2024, which was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. Between 2021-2023, there was a consistent pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting non-compliance, though recent filings show no current infestations.

The building underwent construction work in 2021 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to safety measures and construction documentation, with penalties totaling $5,625, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained generally good hygiene standards, with rodent inspections in 2024 showing a passing result, and previous inspections from 2018-2021 typically showing no rat activity. An electrical power outage was reported in July 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also had two formal violations in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, though these were dismissed. Permits for work on the property were issued in 2020 and 2021, suggesting some maintenance or improvement activities have been undertaken. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints, recent inspections and bedbug reports indicate improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the recent mold complaint raises ongoing concerns about building maintenance.
