1355 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1355 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Kasirer, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been persistent water-related problems, with multiple reports of leaks (both slow and heavy) affecting various apartments between 2024-2025, including documented violations related to water damage in Apartment 2's bathroom and other areas. The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including mold issues reported in multiple complaints, though HPD inspections generally found conditions not violating housing laws.

Other significant maintenance concerns include a heating system violation in May 2025, security-related door issues (with violations regarding door gaps and locking mechanisms), and various plumbing, garbage storage, and window maintenance problems. The property has undergone several inspections and faced multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance standards. In late 2024, there were notable Environmental Control Board violations concerning fire door functionality, combustible storage in the gas meter room, and painted sprinkler heads.

There have been multiple instances of failing to provide access to building services during inspections, and three recent complaints in May 2025 alone were related to mold and water leaks. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports showing zero affected units since at least 2019. Regular rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management practices in this regard. The building's construction date is listed as 2004, and it operates under the designation "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A."
