Augrented Insights Report for 717 Dekalb Avenue

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 717 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aron Fromowitz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018, with the most concerning being recurring heat and water-related problems. Most recently, in May 2023, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint in apartment 5B that resulted in HPD violations. The building has a documented history of access issues, with several complaints in 2022 (mold, ceiling paint/plaster) and 2021 (water leak) being closed without inspection due to lack of access.

Other notable maintenance concerns include an indoor air quality issue reported in 2020, carbon monoxide detector safety checks in 2018 (which had no violations), and multiple illegal hotel room complaints in 2023 that were either investigated or resulted in inspector access issues. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2025 and 2023, with multiple initial inspections showing rat activity, though some compliance inspections passed. While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2018-2023, including failures to file annual bedbug reports and external low-pressure inspections, these were generally dismissed or closed after correction.

Bedbug inspections from 2020-2024 show zero infested units reported. Recent rodent inspections indicate ongoing pest management issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing "Rat Activity" results. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed responses and access issues for inspections, with multiple complaints requiring residents to re-file issues rather than being promptly addressed.
