1250 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1250 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and owned by Gabriel Grunblatt. Built in 1931, this New Law Tenement building has experienced a pattern of bedbug reporting compliance issues and rodent activity over the past several years.

The building has maintained an impressive record of zero bedbug infestations in its most recent filings from 2023 through July 2025, with all six consecutive annual bedbug reports showing no infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective management of this potential health concern. In terms of rodent control, the building has passed six consecutive inspections from July 2023 through July 2025, indicating improved pest management protocols.

However, there were notable concerns in early 2023 and throughout 2022, with initial inspections in January 2023 and July 2022 reporting rat activity, although these issues appeared to be addressed through compliance inspections, which passed. The building had two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting in 2021 and 2023, though these were subsequently resolved. While the property has experienced some pest management challenges in the past, recent inspections and reporting history suggest improved conditions, with no recent violations or reported infestations affecting resident quality of life.
