Augrented Insights Report for 1597 Bedford Avenue

The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 1597 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Marc Barron and constructed in 1905, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between March and June 2025, there were five separate complaints regarding refrigerator problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in each case. The building has also faced significant challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations in 2024.

Notably, apartments 1D and 4D received violations in August 2024 for rodent and roach infestations. Other documented issues include a heating problem in January 2025 that was reportedly resolved, electrical outlet concerns in August 2024, and a mold complaint from November 2024, which HPD also could not inspect. The building's violation history shows a mix of safety and maintenance concerns, including a 2024 violation for inadequate entrance lighting and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4D, as well as a 2023 violation for a defective entrance door in apartment 1B.

Despite these challenges, recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest control efforts. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free reports from 2019 through 2024, with no infested units reported in the past six filing periods. A gas utility inspection in 2019 was noted as requiring multiple access attempts, but this issue appears to have been resolved.
