Augrented Insights Report for 545 Marcy Avenue

545 Marcy Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building built in 1931 and owned by Pinchas Halperin, located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2021, including multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, as well as concerns regarding fire escape safety and electrical wiring. During 2022-2024, there were recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and a gas leak emergency notification requirement, though the building has maintained current occupancy with no bedbug infestations reported since 2021. More recent inspections (2023-2025) have generally shown stable conditions, with the latest rodent inspections in 2025 showing compliance, though there was a brief period of rat activity documented in June 2024.

The building has a history of unauthorized modifications, including a 2021 violation for unpermitted construction of a wooden staircase connecting apartment 1R to the cellar, for which penalties were resolved. Two open Class C violations remain regarding self-closing doors at the entrance to rear yard and front entrance located at apartment 1R, both from 2021. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints regarding illegal conversions between 2020-2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during multiple attempts. Recent inspection records suggest improved conditions, with all rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 passing compliance checks, though there was a period of rat activity noted in late 2021.

The building has maintained proper documentation regarding rodent control and pest management, with multiple passing inspections since 2022. The most recent significant violation in the building's history is related to the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation, issued in June 2023 and currently active. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations quickly, with most complaints being investigated and closed without the issuance of formal violations. Compliance records suggest the owner has been responsive to most regulatory requirements, though there were periods of noncompliance noted in bedbug reporting and gas safety notice requirements in previous years.
