Augrented Insights Report for 72 Bedford Street

72 Bedford Street is a 6-story, 17-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Eric Setton. The building has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, particularly in 2023-2024, including multiple reports of water leaks, damp spots, and mold, with some violations still pending resolution as of November 2023. There are also safety concerns surrounding the building's fire escape systems, with violations noted in September 2023 regarding fire escape safety, though some of these complaints were subsequently closed without violations.

The building's maintenance record shows significant exterior deterioration, with active violations as of May 2024 citing severe scaling/spalling of masonry brickwork and deteriorated mortar joints on Exposure #4, for which a $1,250 penalty has been imposed. Previous inspections from 2019-2021 revealed various structural concerns, including problems with the building's cornice and facade, and violations related to unmaintained self-closing doors in multiple areas. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2017 and 2024, with varying results, including some instances of rat activity noted in 2022.

While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since at least 2019-2020, recent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage were filed in late 2023. The building's permit history shows several issued permits between 2019 and 2020 for various maintenance work, though a complaint from 2023 regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access. The property's environmental control board violations indicate ongoing concerns with building maintenance and compliance, with some violations remaining open as of 2024.
