Augrented Insights Report for 2070 Arthur Avenue

2070 Arthur Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Michael Merms. The building has recently experienced multiple quality of life and maintenance issues throughout 2025, with notable concerns including persistent rodent activity (with inspections showing rat activity in eight out of ten inspections between June 2024 and June 2025), multiple plumbing complaints, and significant heat and hot water system problems.

The building's heating system was found to have violations in December 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply, and a series of HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in May-June 2025 included issues with water supply, door and window conditions, and sanitary conditions including pest problems. Additionally, there are serious concerns regarding unauthorized modifications to the building, with active Environmental Control Board violations from May 2024 related to illegal alterations of Class "A" apartments in the cellar, including a full kitchen and bathroom installation, for which penalties of $6,250 each have been imposed. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues that require attention, including heating system problems, maintenance of bathroom facilities, and several instances of work being performed without proper permits as noted in DOB complaints.

The property has maintained a relatively good track record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2021-2024), though there was one incident in 2019-2020. The building has undergone multiple inspections of various systems and conditions, with some violations being promptly addressed and closed, while others remain active. The owner's response to violations typically follows the legal requirements, though there have been several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access during inspections, particularly regarding illegal conversion complaints in 2021 and 2024.
