1132 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 1132 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Evelyn Nowell and constructed in 1925, has experienced notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are multiple ongoing concerns regarding the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO) documented through open violations from late 2024, including problems with pest infestations (both mice and roaches), defective doors, deteriorating plaster surfaces, and plumbing issues.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about the electric/gas range, electrical wiring, and general maintenance issues, though inspections typically found no violations or confirmed that issues had been resolved. The property's historical record shows some regulatory scrutiny, with complaints regarding potential illegal conversion (2019), certificate of occupancy issues (2021), and multiple complaints about an illegal curb cut/driveway (2024-2025).

While rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2020 through 2025 have consistently passed, there are ongoing concerns that warrant attention, particularly the open violations from late 2024 affecting the 2nd-floor apartment. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by numerous inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though there have been instances of inspection access being denied.
