1077 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 1077 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Yitzchok Kohn, has experienced recurring pest issues throughout recent years, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests filed between 2022 and 2024. The most recent unsanitary condition complaints were filed in September 2024, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these particular complaints. The building has also had some concerning safety and maintenance issues.

In March 2023, inspections were conducted for various concerns including fire escape safety and electrical wiring, none of which resulted in violations. However, a notable violation from 2023 required removal of tree branches obstructing fire escape egress, which was certified as corrected in May 2023. The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2020 related to a lack of appropriate paint in Apartment 1's bathroom, ongoing pest infestation issues, and carbon monoxide detector concerns.

Historical records show a cluster of violations from 2018 that indicate significant maintenance and safety concerns, including improper fire stopping materials and unpermitted modifications involving a gas stove and sink installation on the second floor, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2012 through 2025, and recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate no infestations or eradications, suggesting improved pest management in recent years compared to earlier complaints. All recent pest-related complaints have been classified as non-emergency.
