78 De Sales Place, Brooklyn, NY 11207
78 De Sales Place is a 2-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Joel Klepner and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in February 2023, including heat and hot water problems, an electric power outage, and issues with the electric/gas range - all of which were temporarily resolved but indicated recurring maintenance challenges.
The property has a documented history of mold-related complaints, particularly during 2020, with multiple incidents reported between May and July of that year, though only one inspection resulted in violations. Other notable issues include ventilation system concerns in July 2022, and compliance violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to present, which remain open as of 2024. The building's safety and maintenance record shows both persistent challenges and successful compliance with regular inspections.
While there have been multiple unsanitary condition complaints, particularly regarding mold in 2020, recent rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 have consistently passed. The property also shows evidence of various housing maintenance code violations, primarily from 2020, including requirements for proper posting of safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building registration information - though these are not directly related to resident comfort. The 2024 and 2025 rodent inspections passed, indicating effective pest management, and the most recent building inspection in April 2024 shows one open violation related to bedbug reporting requirements.
