1269 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1269 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Ismael Feliciano, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention. Most recently, in January 2024, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has experienced persistent heating system problems, with multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints recorded in 2022 and 2024, including a January 2022 incident where tenants reported restoration of services after the complaint was filed.

The property has faced significant unit-specific issues, particularly in Apartment 1B, which has documented problems including mold (with violations still listed as open), water leak concerns, and pest infestation as of 2024. The unit's maintenance history also shows various non-emergency issues being reported and addressed in 2023, including problems with the ventilation system, electrical systems, and general repair needs. External inspections have revealed ongoing challenges with pest management, particularly rodents, though recent inspections in 2025 show passing results.

The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infested units in the last several reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, suggesting effective prevention and management of this particular issue. The property's maintenance history indicates a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with heating systems and interior maintenance requirements. While recent inspections have shown some improvements in pest management, the building continues to experience various maintenance challenges requiring attention, particularly in unit 1B. The building's age (built in 1910) and status as a New Law Tenement class structure suggest it retains many original features that may require ongoing maintenance and updating to meet current housing standards.
