Augrented Insights Report for 537 Van Nest Avenue

537 Van Nest Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Leandro Delpino. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and May 2025 regarding heat and hot water problems (affecting both the entire building and individual apartments), cooking gas concerns, and water leaks. In particular, May 2025 saw violations issued for ceiling paint/plaster issues, heavy water flow problems, cooking gas concerns, and heat/hot water deficiencies, with one heat/hot water complaint still remaining open.

The building also has a significant history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2024, though bait has been applied consistently during inspections in 2023-2024. Historical records indicate several concerning patterns, including ongoing bedbug reporting violations from 2019 through 2024, and multiple housing violations regarding interior maintenance and inspection requirements. There was an attempted investigation in 2019 regarding illegal apartment conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access.

The building has previously faced issues with refuse accumulation in the north rear yard (2022) and a discarded refrigerator in the east side yard (2022). Compliance for various safety requirements, including smoke detector notices and gas leak procedures, appears to be deficient based on 2019 violations. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, as evidenced by recurring complaints and violations, particularly related to heat, hot water, and gas services.
