1352 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1352 Dekalb Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bushwick and constructed in 2004, currently owned by Jacob Davidovics. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an active violation issued in September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. In late 2020, the building faced heat and hot water issues that prompted emergency complaints to HPD, though no violations were ultimately issued.

A series of November-December 2020 violations were identified and addressed, including the need for proper notices regarding gas leak procedures and carbon monoxide detection requirements, door self-closing mechanisms, and various safety notices in common areas. All these 2020-2021 violations were eventually closed, except for the carbon monoxide notice violation which remained open as of 2021. The building's rodent inspection history shows some concerns, with three instances of "Rat Activity" recorded between March 2022 and September 2024, though most inspections have resulted in "Passed" ratings.

However, the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown improvement, with a "Passed" result in February 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual reports submitted from 2019 through 2024, showing consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly during the 2020-2021 period, recent inspections and reporting suggest improved compliance with various housing maintenance requirements, though the active violation regarding the external low pressure inspection filing remains a notable concern as of September 2024.
