1269 Dekalb Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 1269 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Alexander Doyle, was constructed between late 2018 and early 2020, with multiple permits issued throughout 2018-2020 for various phases of construction work, including new building, plumbing, and equipment installation. The property has experienced several notable issues since construction, most significantly concerning safety and maintenance. During construction in 2019, the building received a Construction Safety Compliance violation regarding improper storage of debris/materials on the sidewalk shed, resulting in a $625 fine.

The building has had three notable inspection years with rat activity (2022 and 2023) among nine rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, though it successfully passed the last three inspections (2024-2025). While there have been a couple of complaints about debris (2023) and safety net issues (2018), inspectors found no violations during their investigations. Remarkably, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the five annual reporting periods from 2020 to 2024.

The property has undergone regular inspection and monitoring by city agencies, with permits being systematically closed out through proper inspections and corrections. The most recent issues have been primarily related to routine maintenance concerns rather than serious safety violations. The building's overall record shows proper permits being obtained for construction work, and while there have been a few complaints and violations, these appear to be typical for a newly constructed building during its initial occupancy period, with no recent patterns of recurring issues or safety concerns emerging in 2024-2025. The recent rodent inspections showing "Passed" results and the absence of bedbug infestations in the most recent reports are positive indicators of the current maintenance status of the building, though it's worth noting the presence of "Rat Activity" in October 2023 and October 2022 inspections suggests ongoing vigilance may be required in this area.
