1316 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1316 Halsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Abraham Brach. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaint being a slow water leak reported in April 2025 that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete. The building has documented multiple instances of mold-related issues, with two emergencies reported in November 2022, and various plumbing and electrical problems, particularly a series of electrical outages and no lighting complaints in July 2021.

Significant violations were issued in 2022 regarding various building maintenance issues, including broken floor tiles and door problems in Apartment 1L, though these violations were certified as corrected by late 2022. The building has also faced challenges with pest management, though recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show zero infested units. Most concerning are the active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021).

Recent rodent inspections between 2024-2025 have shown consistent rat activity, though bait has been applied as part of the remediation efforts. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues that have required regular attention, with varying levels of urgency from emergency responses to routine inspections. While many past violations have been resolved, the current active DOB violations regarding inspection filings and ongoing pest management challenges warrant attention.
