1369 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 1369 Dekalb Avenue, owned by Jacob Davidovics and constructed in 2013, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were multiple water leak complaints in early 2024, with one described as having "heavy flow," though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations. In April 2023, a series of violations were issued for apartment 8, including defective self-closing doors, non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and inadequate hot water supply, though these were all certified as corrected by April 28, 2023.

The building also had a period of heat and hot water issues, with a complaint from 2020 remaining open until 2021. The property has documented both rat activity and successful compliance inspections in 2024, with inspections in February and July 2024 showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in September 2024 and February 2025 passed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units.

The property faced several administrative violations in April 2023, including the need to post proper building registration and housing information notices, though these were certified as corrected by July 2023. A boiler-related violation was noted by the Department of Buildings in April 2023, which was resolved. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, most have been addressed promptly through proper channels, with recent rodent issues showing some improvement toward resolution.
