1145 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit, two-story building at 1145 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Fangqun Wu and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, the building experienced multiple plumbing emergencies involving both the bathtub/shower and toilet facilities in basement apartment 1B, resulting in open Class A violations related to a defective toilet bowl connection and deteriorated plaster surfaces in the kitchen.

These incidents followed a documented heavy water leak in 2022. The building has a concerning history of illegal conversion complaints, with five separate reports between 2019 and 2022, though all were marked as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" or similar.

While bedbug reports show minimal activity with only one recorded infestation in 2020 (affecting three units, all subsequently eradicated), the property has faced rodent challenges, with rat activity documented in 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 show compliance passes. Maintenance issues in basement apartment 1B, as of May 2024, include problems with kitchen cabinet security and damaged plaster surfaces in both the kitchen and foyer, though some of these violations have been subsequently addressed and closed. The building's most recent documented issues primarily revolve around plumbing and general maintenance concerns, with a notable absence of major safety violations or emergency response incidents during the most recent inspection periods.
