1422 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit building at 1422 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by Andy Yang, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, in July 2024, there were multiple service calls and housing maintenance code complaints regarding various issues including mold, pests, a broken window guard, problems with doors and windows, electrical outlet concerns, ventilation system issues, and intercom problems. All these complaints were subsequently closed with no violations issued, though they indicate some persistent maintenance concerns.

The building has also shown recurring issues with its maintenance documentation and safety requirements. In August 2024, several violations were recorded related to the posting of safety notices, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and the building's registration number. There were also violations concerning self-closing doors at the building entrance.

Additionally, a Department of Buildings violation regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report from 2017 remains active as of 2019. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention practices, with no reported infestations in the last two years of filings (2023-2024). The rodent inspection results have been mixed, with periods of rat activity reported in 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 show improvement with a "Passed" result.
