388 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
388 Halsey Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1900 and currently owned by Shahrukh Awan. The building has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between March and May that prompted HPD inspections and resulted in violations being issued. These recent heating system problems represent the most pressing current concern for residents.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by recent rodent inspections indicating compliance and the absence of bedbug infestations in the last three annual reports (2021, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024). However, there are several outstanding issues from 2018 that remain open, including problems with the first-story public hall's light-colored paint requirements, removal of encumbrances, cleaning conditions, and repair of fire-retarding plaster ceiling. The building's documented history shows a pattern of heat and hot water-related complaints in early 2025, with HPD being unable to gain access to conduct inspections in several instances.
Prior to this, there were no major health or safety violations recorded between 2019-2024, and the building successfully passed multiple rodent inspections, including a recent inspection in June 2024. The property has been compliant with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or required eradication efforts in recent years. There was one recorded Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though previous years show consistent compliance. Two 2025 complaints about boiler issues and posted notices were investigated and ruled unsubstantiated based on department records.
