Augrented Insights Report for 1285 Shakespeare Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 1285 Shakespeare Avenue in Highbridge, built in 1930 and currently owned by Franklin Rodriguez, has experienced significant maintenance issues recently. In May 2025, eight complaints were filed regarding various building problems, including heavy water leaks, door issues, wall problems, lack of heat and hot water, and electrical problems - all of which were closed without resolution due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspection. The building also received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in December 2024 related to door hardware and self-closing mechanisms, with several violations remaining open as of April 2025.

Previous violations from earlier inspections in December 2024 indicated inadequate heat and hot water supplies in both apartments. The property has a mixed compliance history with pest control, showing no bedbug infestations reported in recent years from 2020-2024, though there have been three reports of rat activity in 2025, 2024, and 2021, with six consecutive passed inspections in the preceding years. The building's records also show several Department of Buildings complaints and violations related to tenant safety inspections, an illegal conversion case in 2021, and various permit-related issues from 2020, including two environmental control board violations from 2024 regarding failure to comply with commissioner's orders.

While some violations were resolved or dismissed, a significant penalty of $6,250 was imposed in 2024 related to the failure to file a certificate of corrections. The property has undergone some attempted improvements, with permits issued in 2020 for work completed in 2021, though earlier complaints from 2020-2021 regarding interior renovations and electrical work without proper permits were documented. Despite being a two-family house, inspections have shown periods where access to both units was problematic during inspections, highlighting potential communication issues regarding maintenance requests. The building's history reveals an ongoing pattern of maintenance issues that require attention, though recent bedbug and rodent control efforts have been documented as part of regular inspections.
