Augrented Insights Report for 697 Dekalb Avenue

As of July 2025, 697 Dekalb Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Shahla Tashkhisi. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing both rat activity and successful compliance inspections. Bedbug reporting has been consistently maintained since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and the most recent 2024 report shows zero infected or eradicated units.

The building has undergone several maintenance and safety inspections, revealing various issues over the years. Notable 2021 violations included defective self-closing doors on both the cellar and 3rd floor, though these were certified as corrected by late 2022. Other historical violations from 2021-2022 involved improper locking mechanisms and inadequate exterior lighting.

The property has undergone multiple renovation projects, with significant work documented during 2019-2020. This period saw several permit issuances for various types of work, though there were also some construction safety compliance violations in 2019 related to unapproved construction modifications and safety equipment measures. The most recent inspections and reports indicate improved conditions, with recent passed rodent inspections and consistent bedbug reporting compliance. The building's maintenance history suggests regular issues with both pest control and building safety systems, though recent records show improved compliance with health and safety regulations.
