Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 3542 Ely Avenue in the Edenwald neighborhood, owned by Emmanuel Peprah, has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations over the past four years, with each violation stemming from the owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations. These violations were documented in April 2024, March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021, and all remain open as of the most recent available data. The building, which was constructed in 2007 and is classified as a "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" building, has consistently failed to demonstrate compliance with this particular aspect of the Housing Maintenance Code, suggesting a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements related to pest management. While these violations do not directly indicate an active bedbug infestation, they reflect an ongoing oversight in regulatory compliance that could potentially impact resident comfort and safety.
