461 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 4-story, 8-unit building at 461 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Natasha Davis and constructed in 1960, has experienced persistent heating and maintenance issues, particularly related to heat/hot water, plumbing, and sanitary conditions. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in January, along with plumbing issues involving a steam pipe/riser and a sink basin.
The building has a documented history of heating problems, with complaints spanning from 2023 through 2025, including several violations related to inadequate heat supply and excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in Apartment 5R, which has been consistently affected by maintenance issues. The apartment was also found with multiple violations in 2023-2024 including mold in bathrooms, defective self-closing doors, and a broken window sash. Recent concerns include a pending Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, and an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from June 2024 related to an unregistered boiler.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs from 2020-2024, with no infestations reported in the last five years. While the rodent inspections show some historical concerns, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improved conditions. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, with multiple failed inspections and housing code violations, though many issues appear to have been addressed following official inspections.
