Augrented Insights Report for 251 Vernon Avenue

The 251 Vernon Avenue building, a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement built in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent complaints filed in April 2024. The building currently has several active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2023, though a violation from 2021 was dismissed in May 2025.

The property has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including sewage issues (April 2024), window frame problems (July 2022), and multiple instances of pest infestations, with documented rat activity in 2024-2025 being particularly concerning, with multiple bait applications recorded between September 2024 and March 2025. The building's housing maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, though many have been addressed through HPD inspections. Notable improvements include the completion of repairs to broken air valves in Apartment 1L (January 2023) and the correction of various electrical and plumbing issues.

Bedbug reports from 2021-2025 indicate no infestations during the reporting periods. The property management has shown responsiveness to some emergency repairs, with several heat and hot water complaints being resolved relatively quickly, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates. The building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly heating and pest control, though recent bedding treatment records indicate successful eradication efforts.
