Augrented Insights Report for 142 Decatur Street

The 20-unit, 4-story building at 142 Decatur Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Hward Teplr, was built in 1888 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being water-related problems.

In 2024, multiple violations were documented including heavy water flow, mold, and plaster issues in apartment A1, with corresponding emergency status violations issued and some subsequently certified as corrected. The building has a concerning history of rodent problems, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing non-compliance, following a similar pattern of inspections showing rat activity or failure for other reasons between 2018 and 2025, though there have been some passed inspections as well. The property has multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with the most recent showing a failure to file from 2018 through 2023, including a violation issued in September 2024.

There are also open violations from 2018 regarding the posting of gas leak procedures and housing information notices. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting with zero infestations reported between 2019 and 2025, the overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control. A Department of Buildings inspection in December 2023 noted issues with improperly maintained window AC units, though this violation was subsequently resolved.
