Augrented Insights Report for 2679 Decatur Avenue

2679 Decatur Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by 2679 Decatur Realty LLC. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a series of unresolved safety and habitability problems as of 2024-2025. These include multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly in apartment 5A where there is an open violation for mouse infestation, along with various repair needs including plaster surfaces, window issues, and a leaky roof. More recent complaints from April-May 2025 involved plumbing and ceiling problems, though inspections found no violations.

The building is currently facing serious structural concerns, as evidenced by active violations from May-June 2025 regarding deteriorated brick mortar joints and cracked stucco, with a commissioner's order requiring immediate repairs. Historical records show past issues with the boiler system, including a high CO reading in 2020 that resulted in a hazardous condition citation. The property has documented rodent activity across multiple inspections from 2021 through 2024, indicating an ongoing pest control challenge. Recent service requests and inspections have shown some recurring maintenance patterns, including plumbing issues and problems with paint/plaster work.

Multiple service requests in 2025 regarding basins/sinks and ceilings have been closed after inspection, though some initial requests in 2025 for a broken window guard and appliance issues could not be fully inspected by HPD. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods (2021-2025), but the persistent rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control. The property has generated various complaints over the years, including an illegal conversion investigation in 2024 and concerns about safety features such as window guards. While many past violations have been resolved, the recent structural concerns and active violations regarding building envelope maintenance are noteworthy as of mid-2025.
