380 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit building at 380 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Marcia Lowe and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable issues over the past five years that warrant attention. Most significantly, there is an ongoing concern with building safety systems, including three **open violations** related to fire safety mechanisms, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, with violations dated as recently as April 2024. In late 2022, there were multiple electrical issues, including two **emergency complaints** about inadequate lighting, one of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced **heating and hot water** complaints, with one incident in October 2022 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. A comprehensive inspection of the building's systems and safety protocols in October 2022 revealed several violations needing correction, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, electrical service to fixtures, and requirements for proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detection. The building has undergone routine rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and most recently in June 2024, all of which passed, suggesting general pest control measures are being maintained.

Furthermore, there were several **failed access attempts** during inspections related to illegal conversion and egress concerns in 2020-2021, though no violations were ultimately issued in those cases. The property's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradications during the most recent reporting period (2020-2021), and while multiple safety-related complaints were filed in 2021 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, these were investigated with no violations found. It's worth noting that multiple inspection attempts for various complaints between 2020-2024 have resulted in **inspectors being unable to gain access** on their second attempts, indicating potential access issues that could affect timely resolution of building concerns.
