Augrented Insights Report for 704 Decatur Street

704 Decatur Street is a 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1905 and currently owned by Jasi Navarro. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most critical being a fire incident in 2024 that severely damaged the roof bulkhead and masonry chimney, resulting in multiple active violations related to fire safety and building maintenance. This fire damage left structural elements in a precarious state and caused smoke and water damage throughout the building.

Following the fire, there were numerous safety-related complaints regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections often found no violations. The building is currently facing multiple open violations from 2024, including issues with electrical service in apartments 1R, 2R, 3F, 3R, 4F, and 4R. The property has a concerning history of emergency work orders and violations related to building maintenance, particularly regarding safety systems.

In 2024, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold and garbage storage issues, though inspections generally found no violations. Previous inspection records from 2020-2021 showed concerns about unlicensed work and illegal conversions, with some work being performed contrary to approved plans. The building has also accumulated several violations for failing to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and passed rodent inspections in 2018, the current state of the building's safety systems and structural integrity raises significant concerns about habitability and resident safety.
