1050 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1050 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh and constructed in 1906, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating system failures. In January 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, some of which required HPD inspections, and one instance where violations were issued due to a lack of heat or hot water. These heating system issues appear to be an ongoing concern, as indicated by similar complaints throughout 2024.
The building also faced electricity-related problems, with a power outage complaint in October 2024, though HPD was unable to complete the necessary inspection. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly between 2022 and 2024, with several inspections showing "Rat Activity." While recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating some improvement, there have been multiple instances of violations requiring follow-up inspections between 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance record shows various violations and complaints related to building systems and safety requirements, including multiple unfiled external low-pressure inspection violations from 2018 to 2024, though these appear to be in the process of resolution as of September 2024. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with all recent filings showing zero infested units.
Inspection records reveal several safety concerns addressed over time, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, garbage storage, and various maintenance violations dating back to 2021. The property has demonstrated some improvement in recent years, as indicated by passing recent rodent inspections and the certification of certain violations. However, the persistence of heating system complaints and historical rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The owner has addressed many violations within the required timeframes, as evidenced by violation certification dates showing compliance with correction orders.
