Augrented Insights Report for 278 Halsey Street

The building at 278 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a three-story, two-family structure built in 1899, currently owned by Errol Mentore. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed in 2021 and 2022 for lack of these essential services throughout the entire building.

More recent complaints include a paint/plaster issue in May 2023. Notable safety concerns emerged in March 2022, when violations were documented regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, window frames, and various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 4. The building's maintenance history shows several infrastructure challenges, with open violations including a malfunctioning carbon monoxide detector and defective window components.

There have also been persistent rodent control efforts in 2025, with multiple bait applications and documented rat activity in the most recent inspections. The property has active ECB violations from 2018 and 2020 related to unsafe electrical equipment and boiler room access, with significant penalties still outstanding. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (2020-2024), the ongoing rodent issues and historical pattern of heating system problems suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
