1525 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement at 1525 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Reeyan Krishun and constructed in 1931, has exhibited several notable patterns in recent years. The building has consistently maintained its bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no reported infestations in any of the four most recent annual reports (2021-2025), showing an effective eradication response and preventive measures.

Rodent control has been a recurring issue, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing, though a concerning pattern emerged in 2023 with incidents of rat activity recorded in August and a subsequent compliance inspection in September showing improvement. The property has faced repeated housing maintenance code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though all these violations have been closed, indicating resolution.

More recently, there have been two complaints regarding illegal conversion at the property in 2024 (January and July), though both investigations were inconclusive due to inspector access issues, with the most recent attempt in April 2025 also resulting in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." This persistent access issue during violation investigations raises questions about enforcement cooperation. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular attention to pest control and compliance matters, though some violations indicate areas requiring continued oversight.
