1246 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, two-unit residential building at 1246 Halsey Street in Bushwick, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Lawrence Eady, has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024 that warrant attention. Most notably, there are multiple safety-related issues including a pending bedbug report requirement, unprotected skylight wire mesh at the public hall, and various violations related to apartment 3's fire escape safety, including an improperly installed air conditioner unit and lockable door lock.

The building also has several outstanding requirements for safety notifications, including those related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and general building safety information that need to be properly posted in common areas. Additionally, exterior maintenance issues have been documented, such as defective stucco on the north exterior wall requiring repair. The building's recent history shows some structural concerns, with two complaints about building shaking/vibration stability issues reported in March 2022 - one of which required corrective action and was subsequently resolved by November 2022.

However, all rodent inspections conducted between 2012 and 2025 have shown passing results, with the only exception being a rat activity finding in 2013 which was followed by a compliance inspection that showed no issues. The property has maintained consistent rodent control measures in recent years, with the last three annual inspections (2023-2025) all passing successfully. While the building has successfully passed recent rodent inspections, the significant number of open Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly those related to safety and emergency systems, suggests there are ongoing maintenance and safety compliance issues that need to be addressed.
