Augrented Insights Report for 1521 Watson Avenue

1521 Watson Avenue, owned by Edith Buckley, is a 6-story, 61-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 located in the Soundview neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2021-2024, including recent incidents in April 2024 affecting individual apartments. There have been several plumbing and water supply problems documented through 311 complaints, particularly in 2021, and in late 2022, there was a significant water leak reported.

The building currently has open violations related to high-pressure inspection filings from 2023-2024 that remain unresolved. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over the years, with notable 2023 violations including issues with floor tiles, door self-closing mechanisms, window guards, and pest control matters. While the building has maintained an active record of pest control reporting showing no bedbug infestations in recent years, there have been periods of rodent activity, as evidenced by inspections in 2019 and 2023.

The most recent rodent inspection from April 2025 passed, while a March 2024 compliance inspection also passed. The Department of Buildings issued multiple violations in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file mandatory high-pressure inspection reports, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues. The building's maintenance records show a pattern of addressing emergency issues, though some violations have remained open or require further certification to confirm resolution.
