1280 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
1280 Decatur Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Built in 1907 and currently owned by David Horton, this New Law Tenement has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is a recent asbestos complaint filed in May 2023, where inspectors could not gain access to the property during their attempt to investigate.
The building has a documented history of rat activity, with confirmed infestations noted in inspections from 2020, September 2022, and March 2023, though the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without any rodent issues. The property has shown consistent diligence in bedbug reporting, with six consecutive annual filings between 2018 and 2025 showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, though there were three separate violations issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the timely filing of bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building's maintenance history indicates periods of both concern and compliance, particularly regarding pest management.
While there have been multiple rat activity reports between 2010 and 2022, the recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improvement. The property has met its bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, demonstrating good management of this particular issue despite the earlier violation notices. These reports, while mandatory and potentially indicating past issues, show no current or recent problems with either bedbugs or rodents as of the latest inspections and filings. The most pressing current concern is the unresolved asbestos complaint from 2023, which remains uninvestigated to date.
