Augrented Insights Report for 522 Jefferson Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 522 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Douglas Adams, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past year. From October 2024 through March 2025, there were ten separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with the most recent three complaints in early 2025 (March 6 and January 11) being particularly concerning as they were marked as "emergency" complaints.

Notably, in December 2024, there were five significant maintenance violations cited for apartment 2A, including multiple water leak issues in the bathrooms, ceiling problems, and defective plastered surfaces that remain open as of now. The building has also undergone several regulatory inspections and generated multiple complaints over the past few years, including rodent activity noted in June 2025, a bedbug inspection in 2024 showing no infestations, and various housing maintenance code violations.

The property received an "A" violation in December 2024 regarding missing gas leak notice requirements, which remains open, and a "C" violation for defective self-closing doors at the vestibule entrance. The building's management has maintained records showing no bedbug or significant infestation issues over the past four reporting periods (2021-2025). Historical records show a complaint about illegal after-hours work in 2021, which resulted in no violations upon inspection.
