Augrented Insights Report for 2908 Valentine Avenue

2908 Valentine Avenue is a 5-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Steven Finkelstein. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints and violations as of July 2025, including multiple plumbing problems (toilet and water supply issues), pest infestations, cabinet problems, and various unsanitary conditions.

Between January and March 2025, there were several incidents involving heat and hot water outages, though these were resolved relatively quickly. Of particular concern are the violations and ongoing issues related to mold, water leaks, and structural damage. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rats between 2022 and 2025.

A comprehensive inspection of apartment 14A in October 2024 revealed multiple violations, including lead paint hazards, mold conditions, water leaks, and pest infestations, though these were certified as corrected between November 2024 and January 2025. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the annual filings. The Department of Buildings' records show several permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for plumbing and exterior work, though the specific nature of these projects is not detailed in the available data.
