Augrented Insights Report for 1538 Webster Avenue

The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1538 Webster Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Lmdy Realty Inc and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, as of April 2025, there are multiple open violations from a recent October 2024 inspection, including concerns about self-closing doors in the vestibule, broken caulking around a bathtub in apartment 31, and reported mouse infestation in apartment 41. The building has a troubling history of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failed initial inspections followed by compliance passes, and previous inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 indicating rat activity.

The property has faced various other maintenance challenges, including emergency heat/hot water issues in April 2025 (resolved within a day), and multiple reports of food establishment violations in 2025. Historical records from 2022 show several instances of building-wide inspections for various issues including electrical problems, appliance concerns, flooring, painting/plastering, and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests, though most were closed without violations. The building has also had recurring concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024.

Between 2020 and 2024, the property generated multiple complaints related to illegal commercial use, resulting in a partial vacate order in December 2021, and various construction violations including unauthorized work in the basement and roof areas. Recent inspections have indicated ongoing maintenance needs, with the most recent Rodent Inspections in 2025 showing a pattern of failed initial inspections followed by compliance passes, suggesting challenges in maintaining pest control standards. The property has also received several Notices of Violation related to various building code requirements, including emergency safety issues such as exit passageway obstructions in late 2021. The building's history reflects ongoing challenges with maintenance, pest control, and regulatory compliance, with the most recent violations primarily focused on rodent control, door security, and various apartment maintenance issues.
