172 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 172 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Andrew Dey, has been subject to regular health and safety inspections over the past several years. Constructed in 1882, this Class A building has maintained an encouraging record in bedbug management, with eight consecutive annual reports (2019-2024) showing zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any of the units during their respective reporting periods.

However, the property has experienced notable rodent control challenges, particularly in recent years. The most recent inspection in May 2025 passed, but prior to this, there were three consecutive inspections (2024-2025) that identified rat activity. Specifically, December 2024 and November 2024 inspections recorded rat activity, while the previous November 2023 inspection also noted rat activity before the building passed inspections in 2023 and 2022.

Despite the rodent issues, the building achieved passing results in several rodent inspections (2022-2025), indicating some level of responsive maintenance to these challenges. The pattern of inspections shows that while the building has been proactive in addressing pest management through regular inspections, there remains an ongoing need to monitor and address rodent activity consistently. The property's bedbug management success is particularly noteworthy, contrasting with the rodent challenges.
