1500 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1500 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Isidore Miller and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are two open lead paint-related violations in apartment 1L as of June 2023, including failure to notify occupants about lead hazards and failure to provide required documentation to the Department. The building has also been cited for not filing its 2019 External Low Pressure Inspection, an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023.

While rodent-related complaints have been documented in both 2023 and 2021, with recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, there was a notable pattern of failed inspections in 2023 and 2024 for rodent activity and other reasons. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications during these periods. The property's maintenance history reveals a mix of compliance and violations, with the most pressing current issues being the open lead paint violations and the external inspection filing violation.

While recent rodent inspections show improvements in passing rates, the building has experienced inconsistent results in this area, particularly during 2023-2024. The lead paint violations, which involve both notification to occupants and documentation requirements, represent the most significant current compliance issues. The building's overall bedbug management record suggests effective monitoring and treatment protocols, though the property has experienced various maintenance challenges as evidenced by the violation history.
