Augrented Insights Report for 7 Dekalb Avenue

7 Dekalb Avenue is a 27-story, 690-unit residential tower constructed in 2011, currently owned by Wesley Wilson. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with elevator systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2022 and 2025 regarding "Multiple Devices on Property," though inspections consistently found no violations. More concerning are recent health and safety issues, with multiple active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints in 2025 regarding mobile food vendors and a current smoking/vaping complaint.

The building has undergone several inspections for bedbug infestations, with the most recent reporting two infested units in the 2023-2024 period, though previous units were successfully treated. A significant rodent control effort is ongoing, with multiple inspections and bait applications documented throughout 2024 and 2025, including instances of rat activity in April and October 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic building systems, including multiple heating/hot water and power outage emergencies in 2023-2024, along with various electrical and ventilation system complaints.

There are also several open violations from 2020-2021 regarding maintenance issues in public areas, including problems with plaster surfaces, painting, and fire retardant materials in the 4th and 5th story public halls. The building's documentation shows active filings for the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection and historically for FISP Cycle 9A, though there have been penalties issued for failure to comply with these requirements. The property has received multiple health department inspections and violations related to food safety and sanitation, particularly in 2025, while inspections from 2019 regarding the building's occupancy status and maintenance issues were ultimately resolved or dismissed.
