Augrented Insights Report for 257 Saratoga Avenue

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 257 Saratoga Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Keyoumars Keypour, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern regarding water-related problems. Most recently, in March 2025, multiple violations were documented for paint/plaster issues affecting walls, ceilings, and mold, which were inspected by HPD.

In 2024, the building faced several significant problems including heating system complaints (both in individual units and throughout the building), unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, and plumbing issues in multiple units. A comprehensive inspection in December 2024 revealed various violations in apartments 2B and 3A, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), water-related issues, and deficiencies in safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's history shows patterns of structural and maintenance challenges, particularly between 2021-2024, with multiple reports of rodent activity and retaining wall stability concerns.

Several Department of Buildings violations were issued between 2021-2023 regarding failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, with some violations related to building safety and emergency stabilization orders. While the property has shown recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (showing no infestations since 2021), the ongoing maintenance issues suggest continued attention to building upkeep is needed. The most recent building permits, dating back to 2018-2019, were primarily related to plumbing and electrical work, indicating some investment in infrastructure maintenance.
