Augrented Insights Report for 2538 Valentine Avenue

The 39-unit building at 2538 Valentine Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1923 and currently owned by 2538 Valentine Realty LLC, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent months. As of June 2025, there are three open complaints related to electric/gas range issues that were submitted on June 2, 2025. These current concerns follow a cluster of maintenance issues reported in May 2025, including problems with pests, floors, and walls.

Previous violations from December 2024 indicated multiple issues in apartment D, including pest infestations, hot water problems, and concerns about windows and doors. The building has a history of elevator-related complaints, with multiple reports between 2018 and 2022, though inspections consistently found no violations. While recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025 have all passed (with one rat activity report in 2020), the pest management situation showed variation, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024 indicating no infestations.

The property has generally maintained compliance with other housing codes, though there is one active DOB violation from late 2024 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information. The building's history includes various maintenance issues being addressed, such as electrical problems, window repairs, and plumbing concerns, with inspections typically resulting in violation notices that allow time for corrections. The most recent inspections show the building is actively managing maintenance issues, though some remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
