Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

1054 Ward Avenue is a two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Mary Bramble and located in the Soundview neighborhood. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centering around appliance issues, specifically the electric/gas range, with an unresolved complaint from October 2023. Notable historical problems include multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2018-2019, water leak issues documented in December 2018, and a pest infestation citation from the same period.

The building's current compliance status indicates open violations related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and structural issues in apartment 2FL2R concerning various repairs including roof leaks, bathroom plaster, and smoke detector problems, all identified during a December 2018 inspection. While there have been recent rodent control efforts, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded throughout 2023-2024, with bait applications noted in late 2023 and early 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, including heating systems, water drainage, and pest management, though some recent improvements are evident in specific areas such as rodent control compliance.
