Augrented Insights Report for 2559 Decatur Avenue

The five-story, 15-unit tenement building at 2559 Decatur Avenue in Fordham, owned by Michael Gontar, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with particular emphasis on recurring heating/hot water system failures. Between January and April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were resolved promptly.

The building has also faced pest and other maintenance challenges, including a recent April 2025 unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests, which resulted in HPD violations, and a door-related complaint from the same period. Notably, there are active DOB violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file low-pressure inspection reports for 2018 and 2019. The building, constructed in 1911, underwent a comprehensive inspection in September 2024, primarily focusing on Apartment 12A, revealing several maintenance issues including problems with window frames, roof leaks, and various interior surfaces requiring repair or repainting.

The property has maintained a clean record in recent years regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2019 through 2024 showing no affected units. Rodent control has been an ongoing concern, with various inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2024-2025, including a failed inspection in April 2025 showing rodent activity. While some of these issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and pest control, the property has generally addressed most emergency complaints promptly, though with the issuance of violations that require correction within specified timeframes.
