984 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 984 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by David Miao, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water systems throughout the building, with both emergency and non-emergency classifications. The property has documented consistent problems with its heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations and multiple HPD inspections in December 2024, particularly affecting apartments 4R and 4L.

Recent HPD complaints from January 2025 indicate various maintenance issues, including problems with the intercom system, wiring, water leaks, ceiling conditions, and safety concerns related to smoke detectors. The building's history shows a significant period of occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) in 2018, leading to multiple violations, though these were ultimately resolved. There are three active DOB violations as of 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020, suggesting potential concerns with the building's infrastructure.

Notably, the building has maintained passing rodent inspections in recent years (2022-2025), and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filing period (2022-2023). The property underwent various safety inspections in late 2024, requiring updates to postings regarding heating systems, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detection requirements. While many past violations have been resolved, the ongoing heat and hot water issues, combined with the active inspection violations, indicate continued maintenance challenges at the property.
