58 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 58 Decatur Street in Bed-Stuy, owned by John Kapsalis, has exhibited recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in the most recent complaints from February 2024 and November 2023, both classified as emergencies. These heating system problems date back over several years, with similar complaints documented in 2022, 2019, and even earlier, suggesting a persistent infrastructure challenge.
The building has also faced pest-related concerns, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions recorded throughout 2023, including complaints in July, August, and January, though only one of these inspections resulted in visible violations. Recent inspections in 2023 have uncovered several safety compliance issues, for which violations were issued, including missing safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures. There are also open violations regarding the proper posting of inspection certificates and the maintenance of self-closing doors in the building entrance and vestibule.
The building's records show some positive developments, including passing rodent inspections in 2024 and 2022. However, as of the latest available data, several violation notices remain open, including issues related to bedbug reporting requirements and missing safety notices, while previous violations regarding self-closing doors have been closed after repairs. The building's age (constructed in 1886) and classification as a heretofore converted Class A multiple dwelling indicate it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the records.
