Augrented Insights Report for 837 Bedford Avenue

837 Bedford Avenue is a 17-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Abe Brach. The property has experienced persistent pest control issues in recent years, particularly concerning rodent and insect infestations. Notable recent events include multiple unsanitary pest-related complaints in 2025 (three of which resulted in HPD violations) and recurring pest issues in 2024, with violations documented in apartments 1D and 2D for roach and mice infestations.

Health and safety concerns were also identified in 2024, including open violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1D, broken window sashes in the kitchen of 1D, and unsafe electrical wiring in public areas. The building has undergone several rodent inspections, with mixed results: failed inspections in 2024 and early 2025, though a passing inspection in July 2025 offers some hope of improvement. Other recent maintenance issues include a general complaint about the bell/intercom system in December 2024, and plumbing and heat/hot water problems were reported in October 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows some positive trends, including consistent bedbug-free reporting over the past five years, and a passed rodent inspection in 2025. An active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file an external low pressure inspection form remains unresolved as of the current date. The persistent pattern of pest-related complaints and violations, combined with the recent issues regarding safety systems and building maintenance, suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep that affect resident quality of life.
