Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

1345 Plimpton Avenue is a 6-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Ramon Espinal. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints spanning from April to May 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These recurring maintenance problems have resulted in several violations requiring correction. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, evidenced by multiple compliance inspections showing presence between 2023 and 2025, with bait application noted in February and May 2025.

Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly in Apartment 2A, which has multiple open violations related to sanitation, plumbing, and pest control as of December 2024. Notable issues include: visible mold conditions, broken water fixtures, and an active roach infestation. Apartment 5D was found to have missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, along with some mold presence. The building's systems maintenance has been questionable, with a current open violation regarding the 2023 external low-pressure inspection that was not filed as of September 2024, and a historical complaint about boiler issues in 2022 where access was denied to inspectors. Additional concerns have been documented regarding window frames, paint conditions, and sanitation issues (including mold) throughout various inspection periods.
