1523 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1523 Dekalb Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Josephine Aquilina. Built in 1931, the building has experienced consistent pest management challenges over the past several years.
Most notably, while the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since at least 2021, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported in all annual filings from 2021 through the present, there have been significant rodent control issues. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passed, but prior to that, there were several concerning patterns, including initial inspections in 2024 (July and September) showing rat activity, and earlier in 2023 (February) showing similar issues.
However, it's worth noting that all subsequent compliance inspections following these initial inspections have passed, indicating successful remediation efforts. The building received a housing maintenance code violation in April 2021 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings have been submitted regularly through 2024.
