The two-family residence at 762 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Dwight Halstead, is a 2-story building constructed in 1925. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions over the past four years, most notably involving pests and mold.

In 2023 alone, there were multiple complaints and violations related to pests, including an open violation recorded in June 2023 regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 1, and other recent concerns about mold and water supply issues. A significant unsanitary condition involving mold was reported in January 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with violations in 2023 requiring repairs to leaky bathroom faucets and defective bathtub caulking in Apartment 1, both of which were certified as fixed by July 2023.

Historical records from January 2021 show a C-class violation regarding a defective concrete tread on the building's entrance stairs and an open violation concerning an improperly secured gate slide bolt system. Rodent inspections conducted in 2011 and 2012 passed successfully, indicating previous compliance with pest control measures. The building's maintenance and sanitation history suggests ongoing challenges with keeping the property in good repair and addressing tenant complaints in a timely manner.
