1351 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story Class A building at 1351 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Joel Landau, was constructed in 2008 and contains three residential units. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern over heating system reliability, as evidenced by multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 and 2022, including seven service requests in a single month related to various appliances, plumbing, and floor issues.

Violations were documented in 2021 for apartment 3, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, insect infestation, and kitchen cabinet maintenance. More recently, in May 2023, three separate complaints regarding building shaking/vibrating/structural stability were filed, leading to two Oath Violations being served, and the building has been cited for exterior maintenance issues including detached metal soffits and rusted balconies. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and unresolved issues, with some violations taking longer to address than others.

While recent inspections have shown the building to pass rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, a bedbug report for 2022-2023 indicated no infestation or re-infestation incidents. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and received multiple violations and complaints between 2018 and 2025, including the need for bedbug reporting compliance in 2023. The most recent Department of Buildings permit related to the property appears to be in process as of April 2021.
