357 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-unit, 3-story brownstone at 357 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Edwin Moore, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past several years. The most significant and persistent problems have been related to heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in July and November 2021 regarding building-wide deficiencies. These complaints resulted in HPD inspections and violations, though access to some units was reportedly not achieved during inspections.

Additional complaints were filed in July 2021 concerning cooking gas issues, specifically affecting the 4F apartment. More recently, the building has been cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, with these violations currently remaining open as of April 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in certain areas, with rodent inspections passed in 2022 and 2024, following a concerning rat activity report in April 2016.

While three rodent-related inspections have been conducted since 2016, the most recent inspections have shown compliance with health standards. Specifically affecting unit 4F, there were violations noted in July 2021 regarding inadequate hot water supply and gas service to kitchen fixtures, though the current status of these violations is not explicitly noted in the most recent inspection data. The building's documented issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic building systems and compliance requirements, though some historical problems, like rodent activity, appear to have been addressed more recently.
