Augrented Insights Report for 518 Decatur Street

518 Decatur Street is a four-unit, four-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building's most pressing recent issues have centered around heating and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints filed in 2024 (February, September) and violations continuing to emerge as of September 2024; notably, there were violations related to hot water provision specifically in Apartment 2.

Additional concerns were documented in August 2024 regarding safety equipment in Apartment 2, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with multiple lighting fixture issues that remain open violations. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent incidents occurring in September 2024 and previously in February 2024, though some complaints were resolved shortly after inspection. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has demonstrated good pest and rodent control management.

Bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 show zero instances of infestation or related issues, and recent rodent inspections from 2020, 2022, 2024, and most recently in June 2025 have all passed. A non-emergency complaint regarding the intercom system was filed in November 2021, though access for inspection was not granted. While the building has a number of open violations that require attention, particularly regarding safety systems and hot water services, it has maintained a record of successful pest management and rodent control inspections.
