Augrented Insights Report for 442 Decatur Street

442 Decatur Street is a 4-story, 32-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Alexander Horn. The property has recently experienced multiple recurring issues with heat and hot water service, particularly evident in an emergency complaint pattern throughout late 2024 and early 2025, affecting the entire building and specific units like 1D and 6D.

The building has documented rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat presence, and previous inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 also confirming similar issues. Unit 6D has faced several maintenance challenges, including pest violations for roaches and mice in October 2024, while unit 6A has experienced mold issues, as noted in a September 2024 violation that remains open. Historical records reveal structural concerns from 2019 involving a bulging/cracked retaining wall between 440 and 442 Decatur Street, which was subsequently addressed.

The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infested units since 2019. While the property has faced various quality-of-life issues requiring city intervention, including complaints about sanitary conditions and unauthorized smoking in smoke-free areas throughout 2025, it has also demonstrated responsiveness to inspections, with many complaints being marked as closed following appropriate follow-up actions. The building's maintenance record includes routine violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved.
