1274 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 1274 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Ismael Feliciano, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently two open violations from July 2024 related to building safety: one concerning a defective self-closing door at the building's front entrance (Class C violation), and another regarding a problematic key-operated lock on a fire escape window in apartment 3A (Class B violation).

A 2022 inspection revealed multiple issues requiring attention, including several violations concerning defective self-closing doors (in the cellar, front entrance, and various locations) and an instance of excessive vegetation obstructing the south fire escape. The building has maintained a regular rodent inspection schedule, passing all inspections since 2012, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in April 2025.

While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), a significant safety incident was reported in August 2020 involving a smoke detector complaint, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's violations and complaints suggest ongoing concerns with door mechanisms and emergency access, though most older violations from 2022 have been addressed and closed.
