44 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit building at 44 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sheila Joseph-Greaves, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2021, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions. In 2021, the property faced multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold), plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), electrical problems (no lighting), and door-related concerns. A Department of Health and Mental Hygiene rodent sighting was reported but found to have no violations upon inspection.

The building underwent significant inspections in 2022, revealing several safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including issues with self-closing doors and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in Basement Apartment 1, though some violations related to plaster surfaces, water leaks, and escutcheon plates remained open as of May 2021. The building's recent history shows substantial improvement in maintenance and pest control compliance. All bedbug reports from 2022 to 2025 indicate zero infested dwelling units, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2023 to 2025.

The last recorded rodent activity was in April 2022, with subsequent inspections showing no such issues. The property has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with the most recent one in March 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, suggesting ongoing attention to pest control and building maintenance. The building's violation history also indicates resolution of several key issues, with most violations being certified as corrected, though some internal maintenance issues related to Apartment 1 identified in 2021 remain noted in the records.
