Augrented Insights Report for 1686 Clay Avenue

1686 Clay Avenue is a 5-story, 29-unit New Law tenement building located in Claremont Village, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Darwin Garcia. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, with multiple HPD complaints about heat/hot water problems in late 2022, and more recently, two plumbing-water supply emergencies in June 2025.

The property has faced various safety concerns between 2023-2024, including multiple instances of broken/missing window guards, a fire escape safety issue, and rodent problems, with recent inspections revealing rat activity and other maintenance concerns. There are also significant building code and maintenance violations, including an active ECB violation from December 2024 regarding cracked/spalling terracotta facade issues that poses an imminent hazard, and three open violations related to an unauthorized basement apartment conversion from March 2023 affecting multiple units, including illegal plumbing and cooking facilities.

The building's management has been required to file annual bedbug reports, and while recent filings from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, there have been rodent inspection failures in 2024, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple illegal conversion complaints between 2020-2024, suggesting unauthorized alterations to the building's structure or layout.
