83 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

83 Decatur Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Stephanie Faulkner. Built in 1880, this formerly converted Class A building has a mixed record of maintenance and safety compliance over recent years.

Of particular note are recurring Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded every year from 2021 through 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with HPD requirements. The building has experienced structural and safety concerns, including a significant incident in August 2020 when damage was documented to the rear yard from masonry facade falling from a neighboring building at 619 Throop Avenue, for which there remains an active violation as of the latest records. There were also complaints filed in 2020 regarding building shaking and construction work, though no violations were warranted following inspections.

Despite these issues, the property has maintained good rodent control standards, with all inspections from 2018 through 2024 resulting in passing grades. The building's management has shown some level of responsiveness to external complaints, as demonstrated by the closure of several Department of Buildings complaints regarding adjacent properties in 2020-2022, though these were determined to have no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The most recent inspections and violations suggest that while the building generally maintains basic safety standards, there are significant ongoing compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements that have persisted for multiple years.
