Augrented Insights Report for 1516 Bedford Avenue

1516 Bedford Avenue is a 16-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Avi Singer. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in late 2023 and continuing into 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants. These heating system problems have resulted in several violations, including an open Class C violation regarding inadequate heat supply in apartment 2B as of December 2023.

The building has undergone some significant maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly during 2021 through 2022, including multiple violations related to unauthorized electrical work, removal of fire-stopping materials, and work performed without proper permits during interior renovations of multiple apartments. These violations resulted in substantial fines, though records indicate many were subsequently resolved. Recent records show improvements in some areas, including bedbug inspections for 2022-2025 consistently reporting zero infested units, and the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025.

However, as of the latest available data, there are still unresolved building system issues, including an open violation from December 2023 regarding the mechanical ventilation system in apartment 2B. The property's heating system remains a particular area of concern, with multiple emergency complaints and violations issued throughout late 2023 and into 2024. While some systems appear to have been stabilized in recent years, the recurring nature of heating and ventilation complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
