Augrented Insights

AI summary · updated June 2026

512 Jackson Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Brian Velez. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple tenant complaints filed between January 2025 and earlier instances in 2022-2023 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, seven heat/hot water complaints were logged in January 2025 alone, with at least three requiring HPD inspections and others being verified through phone communications. The building's heating infrastructure is currently under scrutiny, as evidenced by a 2023 Department of Buildings complaint regarding a defective boiler and an active ECB violation from October 2023 concerning fire safety requirements for the boiler room.

The building's maintenance record shows some attention to general safety issues, including a 2019 violation for obstructed fire escape egress, which was corrected, and a 2013 floor repair violation in apartment 3A that was eventually resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug mitigation reporting, with all annual filings between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested units. Recent rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with the most recent compliance inspection in October 2023 passing, though a failure was noted in August 2023 for unspecified reasons. The building's management has generally complied with housing inspection requirements, though some HPD inspectors have been unable to gain access during certain inspections, as noted in several recent complaint resolutions.
