Augrented Insights Report for 231 Decatur Street

231 Decatur Street is a three-unit, three-story residence in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Judith Kirkpatrick. The building has undergone several significant events in recent years, most notably a cluster of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2023, though recent filings (2023-2024) indicate no infested units.

In 2018-2019, the property faced serious Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including illegal transient use of unit 3 on the third floor, resulting in multiple fines totaling $60,000 related to safety concerns including inadequate means of egress and fire alarm systems. These violations were ultimately resolved, and there have been no similar violations since.

The building also experienced heating issues in November 2018, though this was resolved quickly. More recently, the property has demonstrated consistent compliance with health and safety requirements, passing annual rodent inspections (most recently in 2025) and filing bedbug reports showing no current infestations. The most recent Department of Buildings records show no outstanding violations or complaints.
