Augrented Insights Report for 741 Dekalb Avenue

741 Dekalb Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 under the OLD LAW TENEMENT classification, currently owned by Solomon Schwartz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints (October 2023) involving problems with garbage/recycling storage, fire escape conditions, and lighting issues, though inspections found no violations in these cases.

Between 2022 and 2024, several significant violations were documented, including multiple instances of garbage/recycling storage problems, lighting issues, and safety concerns related to the fire escape. The building also had notable maintenance issues in 2022, with multiple open violations regarding painting requirements, construction material management, and roof leaks affecting the 5th floor public hall. The property has a documented history of rat activity, with numerous inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing consistent evidence of rodent presence, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed with no violations.

Earlier concerns about building systems included a July 2022 violation regarding improper maintenance of self-closing doors, and multiple 2022 violations concerning construction material storage, roof leaks, and fire safety requirements. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2022-2025 show zero infested units during all reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The Department of Buildings has responded to various complaints regarding certificate of occupancy issues, plumbing work, and boiler concerns, with inspectors sometimes unable to gain access during final inspections.
