Augrented Insights Report for 1212 Grant Avenue

1212 Grant Avenue, a 6-story, 52-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Shmuel Finkelstein, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing investigation as of June 2025 regarding construction lead dust in common areas, and multiple plumbing-related violations were issued in June 2025 affecting various fixtures including toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and floors. The building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 revealing failed results for rat activity and other reasons.

Multiple units, particularly 6B and 6G, have experienced persistent maintenance problems, including electrical issues, plumbing failures, and pest infestations. The property has also faced structural concerns, as evidenced by multiple complaints about building shaking and structural monitoring beginning in late 2024. Earlier violations and complaints show a pattern of building maintenance challenges, including a 2024 inspection documenting missing bricks and decorative pieces on the facade, which remains an active violation with a $1,250 penalty.

There were also documented issues with unauthorized electrical work and a concerning pattern of electrical wiring complaints in 2021, though many inspections found no violations. The building's history shows variable enforcement of maintenance issues, with some violations being promptly addressed while others, particularly those affecting unit 6G, appear to have persistent problems with heating, flooring, and pest control. The property has maintained a relatively stable record with respect to bedbug infestations, with most recent reports showing no active infestations since 2022, though there was one documented case in 2022.
