Augrented Insights Report for 1251 Rev James Polite Ave

The three-story, three-unit building at 1251 Rev James Polite Ave, owned by Sam Kessler and dating back to 1907, has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, most notably concerning pest control and maintenance violations. The most recent concerns include an open mailbox-related issue as of February 2025 and a heat/hot water complaint that, while investigated by HPD, did not violate housing laws.

The building has shown persistent rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 show no infestations. Notable maintenance violations include multiple open violations from a September 2022 inspection of Apartment 3, requiring repairs to plaster surfaces, paint work, and addressing both roach and mouse infestations. The property currently faces multiple active Department of Buildings violations from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.

Previous documented concerns include a broken window guard violation from 2021 and various heat and sanitation-related complaints, though many older issues have been resolved. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed and failed rodent inspections between 2019 and 2024, indicating ongoing efforts to manage pest control. While the property has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in its last three annual filings, the persistence of other maintenance and compliance issues suggests areas requiring continued attention.
