1104 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The property at 1104 Halsey Street in Bushwick is a two-story, 1-unit building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Joanne Gross. The building has experienced significant issues in recent years, most notably a serious fire incident in September 2022 that resulted in extensive interior fire water damage, leaving the building in such disrepair that a Full Vacate Order was issued due to safety concerns including an open roof, broken windows, and compromised party walls.

This fire incident appears to have triggered a series of ongoing violations, with multiple open violations on record from 2022 through 2024, including problems with fire-rated materials in various parts of the building (ceiling and walls in public hall and cellar), roof decking issues, and required painting work in the cellar and public hall. In addition to these structural and safety concerns, the building has recurring issues with bedbug reporting violations, with open citations from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.

On a more positive note, recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have all passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's history also shows two complaints in September 2022 related to construction and building stability concerns, with a full vacate order being served in one case. While there have been numerous violations documented, it should be noted that the oldest housing maintenance code violations from earlier years have generally been addressed, as indicated by their closed status, though many remaining violations are relatively recent and still open as of 2025.
