Augrented Insights Report for 1720 Bedford Avenue

The 22-story, 1321-unit residential building at 1720 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights, currently owned by Ezra Azrotsky, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most concerning are ongoing rodent infestations, with multiple reports from 2025 showing persistent rat activity despite baiting efforts and health violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has also faced water-related issues, including damp spots and heavy water leaks in 2025 that resulted in violations requiring correction.

Multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, pest problems, and various maintenance issues (including ceiling and wall problems, ventilation system concerns, and door/window issues) were investigated in mid-2025, though most were found not to violate HPD housing laws. The building's infrastructure has shown various maintenance needs, particularly regarding elevator systems, with multiple citations for brake maintenance issues and other defects between 2023-2024. There have also been concerns about exterior maintenance, with violations noting cracked masonry and scaffolding issues in 2024.

Recent months have seen continued challenges with bedbug infestations, with multiple units reporting problems in the 2023-2024 reporting period. While some violations have been resolved, including specific apartment issues related to water leaks and plumbing problems, there remain multiple active DOB violations regarding the failure to file required inspections. The property has undergone various inspections and work permit activities, including exterior work and safety inspections, with some work dating back to 2018 still showing as active in permit records.
