Augrented Insights Report for 1490 Bedford Avenue

1490 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building constructed in 1929, currently managed by 1490 Bedford Avenue LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, particularly in early 2024, where multiple complaints were recorded, though some were resolved quickly.

More recently, as of February 2024, several significant violations were issued, particularly affecting apartments 1S, 2S, and 4S, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, fire egress, and various maintenance issues. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, with recent complaints in 2024 documenting cockroach and mouse infestations in apartment 4S, along with multiple rodent activity reports throughout 2023-2024, though an inspection in June 2024 resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has multiple active violations related to boiler maintenance and safety as of 2023-2024, including issues with boiler operation, remote switches, and piping systems, with associated penalties totaling $4,280.

There are also outstanding violations regarding the failure to file required boiler inspections for 2017, 2018, and 2021. In terms of recent maintenance history, the building experienced multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including garbage/recycling storage issues in February 2024, though most complaints during this period were resolved without violations being issued. While the building has a system in place for reporting bedbug infestations, recent filings for 2023-2024 show no reported cases.
