1202 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 1202 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Michael Kandinov, was built in 1925 and consists of two stories with three units. The property has experienced several significant events over recent years, most notably a series of construction-related issues between 2021-2022 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations, including unsafe scaffolding conditions and inadequate pedestrian protection during facade work, with penalties totaling $5,875. These violations were eventually resolved.

In 2021, there were concerning reports of rodent conditions and building security issues, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene initially finding violations requiring follow-up inspections. However, recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 were passed, indicating improved pest control measures. The building has undergone regular Department of Buildings sweeps from late 2021 through 2024, with most resulting in "No Violation Warranted" findings, though one inspection in December 2022 resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

A vacant/unguarded building complaint in March 2021 and a building shaking complaint on the same day also received "No Violation Warranted" determinations. Additionally, the building experienced a fire incident in late 2020 that resulted in a violation, but this was dismissed and the vacate order was rescinded in June 2024. The property's recent history shows a pattern of construction-related concerns between 2021-2022, followed by significant improvements in pest control and property maintenance compliance. Regular inspections have continued, with the most recent rodent inspections showing positive results, though the building's past violations and inspection history suggest close monitoring of maintenance standards and resident safety measures.
