1012 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1012 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Keqi Wei and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring unsanitary conditions in recent months. Most notably, between May 2025 and March 2025, there were multiple complaints related to pests and mold, with four separate unsanitary condition complaints specifically about pests between May 5 and May 19, 2025.

The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in response to these complaints, issuing violations for some pest-related issues while determining that not all observed conditions violated housing laws. An emergency mold complaint from May 2025 was also addressed by HPD. Additionally, there were two Department of Buildings complaints in 2023-2025, one regarding allegedly defective electrical wiring (March 2025) and another concerning illegal after-hours work (June 2023), though no violations were found upon inspection in either case.

Despite these maintenance issues, the building has demonstrated effective pest management procedures, as evidenced by the most recent three bed bug reports (2023-2024), all showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has also maintained compliance with housing maintenance code requirements regarding bed bugs, with no infestations reported through the mandatory annual filings. While the building's age and location in a rapidly changing neighborhood present typical urban challenges, the recent inspections and violations suggest ongoing attention may be required to maintain basic habitability standards within this Old Law Tenement building.
