598 Barbey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit residential building at 598 Barbey Street in East New York, owned by Ivey Walton, has experienced several notable events since 2020. Most significantly, in early 2021, there was a boiler-related emergency that prompted multiple inspections and resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These violations, all addressed by March 2021, included defective plaster and paint issues in both the bathroom and kitchen of Apartment 1, door closure problems in the entrance, and multiple safety notification requirements that needed attention. These requirements included posting information about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's heating system key holder, as well as displaying the proper certificate of inspection visits. The building's more recent history shows a managed pest control situation, with a bedbug infestation reported in 2025 affecting one unit, though it was eradicated.

Prior to this, the building maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2022, with no reported infestations in the previous three years. The property has demonstrated good maintenance of basic building systems, with successful rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019 showing no violations. The most recent bedbug incident and the 2021 boiler issue represent the only significant resident-impacting events on record in recent years, with both being addressed through appropriate channels.
