1328 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1328 Halsey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Bushwick, owned by Steve Lichtman and constructed in 1914. The building has faced recurring safety and sanitation challenges in recent years, with particularly concerning issues emerging in 2023-2024. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent infestations documented between 2024 and 2025, with several initial inspections showing rat activity.

The property has also experienced documented pest issues, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions. The building's safety systems have come under scrutiny, with multiple complaints in late 2023 regarding missing or broken safety features, including window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors - though inspections did not result in violations for these specific complaints. As of early 2024, the building currently has open violations related to lead-based paint hazard compliance in apartments 1R, 3L, 3R, and a violation regarding failure to provide required lead-based paint records in apartment 2R.

Prior violations from mid-2023 included issues with self-closing doors and a cockroach infestation in apartment 2L, which were subsequently addressed. While the building has passed several rodent inspections in 2025, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently shown zero bedbug infestations in reports from 2020 through 2024, indicating this particular pest has not been a problem in recent years.
