1529 Dahill Road, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 4-story, 42-unit building at 1529 Dahill Road in Borough Park, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing rodent issue, with the most recent rat sighting reported in June 2025 and follow-up inspections indicating continued activity. The property has also faced multiple plumbing and sanitation problems, including open heat/hot water complaints as of May 2025, various unsanitary conditions related to pests (with failed inspections in March 2025), and multiple plumbing issues including toilet problems in April 2025.

Earlier in 2025, there were concerning reports of mold, water leaks, and building-wide heating problems. The building's maintenance history reveals several serious safety and habitability concerns. In late 2024, violations were documented for multiple units (C6, D3, and D4) regarding mold, window repair needs, and ceiling leaks.

Unit D4, in particular, was cited for multiple violations including broken plaster surfaces, missing smoke detector, and missing carbon monoxide detector. The property has experienced various infrastructure issues, including concerns about building stability (January 2024), roof problems (noted in multiple complaints), and exterior stucco deterioration (resulting in a $2,500 penalty in 2024). While bedbug reports have shown minimal recent activity, with no infestations reported since 2020, the building continues to struggle with basic maintenance and habitability standards, as evidenced by numerous open and closed housing maintenance code violations and service requests throughout 2025.
