1236 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-unit residential building at 1236 Halsey Street in Bushwick, owned by Cynthia Ramirez and constructed in 1899, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concentration in 2023. The property has had multiple water-related problems, including slow and damp leaks (July and October 2023), and unsanitary conditions involving mold documented in October 2023.

Three emergency complaints were filed in October 2023 regarding an unsanitary condition (mold), window frame issues, and wall problems, though all these complaints ultimately resulted in no violations being issued after HPD inspections. Earlier in the year, there were also plumbing issues involving the bathtub/shower in August 2023, which were reportedly corrected shortly after inspection. The building's more recent history has shown improved pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and the most recent reports from December 2024 and December 2023 confirming no infested or eradicated units.

However, there was significant rodent activity documented in 2023, with multiple bait applications between March and August 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed successfully. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all filings showing zero infestation counts, and the most recent permits issued in September 2019 for exterior work. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, particularly related to water and plumbing systems, the management has generally responded to complaints, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify conditions.
