1278 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

1278 Decatur Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 2008 and currently owned by Linda Vera. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly between 2019 and 2020, with multiple emergency complaints regarding smoke detector safety concerns and a heating system failure affecting the entire building in November 2020.

The property was subject to various violations in 2022-2023, including issues requiring correction of self-closing doors in apartments 12782L and 12782R, as well as problems with plastered surfaces and paint in apartment 12782L. Notably, a bedbug violation was recorded in April 2021, though the building has maintained a clean record in subsequent annual bedbug reports from 2022-2025, showing no infestations. Rodent inspections of the building have shown mixed results over the years, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully.

However, there were periods of rat activity documented in 2010 and 2012 during earlier inspections. The building's emergency response record indicates attention to safety concerns, with no violations issued during smoke detector inspections in 2019-2020 despite multiple complaints, and heat/hot water issues being resolved promptly when reported in November 2020. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, consistently showing zero infested units in the past three reporting periods from 2022-2025.
