1259 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 1259 Decatur Street building is a 6-unit, 3-story, 1910 New Law Tenement located in Bushwick and currently owned by Payam Ebrani. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed in late 2023 through early 2024, though some complaints were duplicates and inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. More recently, in March 2025, there was a plumbing issue involving the bathtub/shower that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with several inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat presence, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown compliance. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections between 2022-2024, including addressing a self-closing door issue, faucet repairs, and multiple violations related to encumbrances in public hallways. Of particular note, there was an active ECB violation from July 2020 regarding building wall maintenance issues, including problems with bricks, mortar joints, and cracks.

The building has maintained good bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent filings. A 2022 housing inspection revealed both roach infestation and mold issues in unit 2R, though these appear to have been resolved. The building has also faced challenges with obtaining timely inspections and responses to complaints, as evidenced by multiple cases where inspectors could not gain access to units for verification of heat and water issues.
