1144 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-unit, three-story old law tenement building located at 1144 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Cynthia Rodriguez, has several concerning ongoing violations that may impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there are multiple open violations related to bedbug report filings from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

Of greater concern, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports for the building's low-pressure boiler, with a penalty of $3,125 assessed. The building has accumulated six active Department of Buildings violations related to unfiled external low-pressure inspection reports, covering the years 2018 through 2023, highlighting a pattern of maintenance oversight regarding this critical building system.

On a more positive note, the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2013, 2022, 2024, and most recently in March 2025, suggesting that while there are current violations, the building is maintaining basic pest control standards. However, the failure to comply with both bedbug reporting requirements and boiler inspection requirements over multiple years represents a significant lapse in building maintenance, with the most recent violations carrying substantial financial penalties. The building's age (constructed in 1905) and location in Bushwick are consistent with similar properties in the area, though the current pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance on critical systems.
