AI summary · updated June 2026

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 433 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yosef Eliav, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning was a heat and hot water outage in December 2024, though conditions were reportedly restored before inspection. The building has had multiple code violations related to door maintenance - including defective self-closing doors in the laundry room and apartment 3R in July 2024 - and recurring issues with encumbrances in public hallways, including bicycles and household items throughout 2024. Food safety has been a persistent concern, with multiple Department of Health complaints filed between 2020 and 2025 regarding improper food handling practices, though recent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 consistently passed.

The building's historical data shows earlier pest issues, with a 2020 inspection revealing cockroach and mouse infestations in apartment 3R, though there have been no reported infestations since then, according to the bedbug reporting records. Recent violations from 2024 included failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection (which was dismissed in early 2025) and various maintenance issues, including a broken corrugated panel at the west side parapet. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections consistently over the past five years. While many violations have been promptly addressed and closed, the recurring nature of hallway encumbrances and intermittent heating system issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within this century-old structure.
