1370 Decatur Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1370 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Daisy Ibarguen, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced some notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in 2022, the property received an Environmental Control Board violation for unauthorized construction work in the cellar, where full-height partition walls were erected to create a bathroom with water and waste lines for multiple fixtures, resulting in a $2,500 penalty that has been resolved.

The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting inspections, with the most recent report filed in July 2024 indicating no infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, and previous reports (2021 and 2022) also showing no infestations. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, successfully passing rodent inspections conducted in 2025, 2024, 2022, 2020, and 2012, demonstrating consistent compliance with health and safety standards over the years.

The building has experienced recurring administrative issues with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent 2024 filing appears to be in compliance. Additionally, there were two complaints filed in 2022 regarding building modifications and storefront signage, though these were resolved with no significant penalties or violations, except for a closed illegal conversion complaint. While the property has had some documentation and compliance issues related to bedbug reporting and unauthorized cellar modifications, the overall health and safety inspections suggest a well-maintained building with responsive management to pest control requirements.
