1002 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1002 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera, has a history of recurring heating and ventilation issues. Most recently, in 2024, the building received several Class C violations regarding hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2B and multiple self-closing door issues in the cellar and front entrance areas.

The building has experienced persistent heating system problems, with HPD responding to no heat/hot water complaints in October 2019 and January 2019, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of inspection in 2019. Between August 2018 and 2024, there were multiple ventilation system complaints and violations, indicating ongoing concerns with air quality systems. The property has demonstrated good maintenance in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

A 2020 inspection revealed several issues in Apartment 1A that were subsequently addressed, including a defective bathtub, light switch, and ventilation system, as well as problems with bathroom tiles and door closure. The building's maintenance record shows that while violations have been issued and resolved, there have been no repeat offenses for the same issues, suggesting that management generally addresses problems when they are identified. The recent bedbug and rodent inspection results indicate good pest management practices, with no infestations reported in over four years.
