1317 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1317 Halsey Street, a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1907 in Bushwick, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, with the most notable concerns centered around heating systems. In late 2018, the building underwent multiple investigations and responses regarding heat and hot water problems throughout the entire structure, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on at least seven occasions between October and December 2018.

These inspections resulted in emergency housing maintenance code complaints and violations, particularly affecting the building's heating system, though many of these violations were subsequently closed by October 2024. The most recent inspection of the building in September 2024 revealed several safety and maintenance concerns that required attention.

These included issues with the building's self-closing doors (both in Apartment 2R and other areas), the presence of encumbrances in the 3rd-story public hall, and various notification requirements related to gas leaks, heating system access, and bedbug reporting that needed to be properly maintained. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2020 to 2024, with no reported infestations or required treatments during this period. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections, passing inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, though there was evidence of rat activity requiring bait application in late 2018, which appeared to be addressed by subsequent inspections.
