Augrented Insights Report for 981 Jefferson Avenue

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 981 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lydia Berry-Pearson, has experienced recurring heating and water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints filed regarding heat and hot water problems, particularly in December 2024 and March 2024. The most recent inspection in December 2024 revealed several significant violations in apartment 3L, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, excessively hot water temperatures, broken heating system components, and missing window guards.

Additionally, there are outstanding issues from previous inspections in apartments 4R and 3R that require attention, including concerns about roof leaks, plaster surfaces, and a mold condition in the hallway of 3R. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with an initial inspection in May 2024 showing rat activity, though more recent inspections in June 2024 and May 2025 have passed.

The property has maintained a record of pest control compliance, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three inspection cycles from 2018-2023. Multiple violations have been issued throughout 2024, with some being classified as "C" violations indicating more serious concerns, such as the need to address scalding hot water conditions. The building, constructed in 1920, has required various emergency repairs in response to tenant complaints, particularly in relation to heating systems, water issues, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections and corrections.
