178 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
178 Halsey Street is a 10-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Danielle Minelli Pagnotta. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, including multiple plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and sink issues in October), a water leak with violations issued in October, and heating/hot water complaints. Of particular concern is the September-October 2024 period, during which multiple inspections revealed various maintenance issues.
These included water leaks, problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, a malfunctioning electric/gas range (resulting in a Section 8 Failure), and door/window problems. Additionally, there are active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019, which were issued in June 2023 and remain unresolved. The building's safety systems have also required attention, with violations noted in August 2024 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3A.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with some instances of rat activity reported, particularly notable in late 2022, August 2023, and November 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 resulted in "Passed" ratings. The building's maintenance history includes multiple work permits issued between 2018-2019 for various repairs and improvements. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations from 2020 to the present, the cumulative list of recent violations and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
