1106 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 2-family house at 1106 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Mindi Friedman, has experienced several significant documented issues over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, the property has been dealing with water-related problems, with two separate complaints about slow leaks and damp spots filed in February 2025, though inspections by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to be completed.

The building has had recurring rodent issues, particularly notable in 2024, with multiple complaints and inspections showing rat activity between February and August 2024, though a March 2025 inspection passed with no rat activity noted. A serious incident occurred in September 2022 when a fire at the neighboring building (1100 Halsey Street) caused minor interior damage to 1106 Halsey, resulting in a temporary vacate order and the building being left exposed to the elements with broken windows and water damage, creating significant concerns about building integrity.

While the building has been successfully passing bedbug inspections since 2019, with no infestations reported in the past six filing periods, the recent water issues and history of rodent problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent in March 2025 showing improvement, though earlier inspections in 2024 consistently showed rat activity.
