Augrented Insights Report for 1531 Nelson Avenue

1531 Nelson Avenue is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building located in Morris Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Shaya Seidenfeld. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable concerns being heat and hot water problems reported in early 2025 (resulting in a violation) and a water supply issue in September 2024.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in April-May 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2C, including issues with window guards, door closures, intercommunication systems, and reported rodent infestation, with the building also receiving a formal bedbug reporting violation. The building's security and accessibility infrastructure has faced scrutiny, with violations concerning the building entrance lock and door systems. The property underwent some construction and maintenance work in 2021-2022, which generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints and Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety and compliance, particularly regarding scaffolding placement and roof protection issues.

While recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed successfully, there was noted rat activity during a May 2023 inspection. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free units in the past three reporting cycles (2021-2024), and permits related to construction work have been issued regularly between 2021 and 2023. Despite these permits being issued and some violations being resolved, the building continues to experience recurring issues with basic services like heat and hot water, as evidenced by the 2025 HPD complaint.
