Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 695 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Clemante, has faced several notable challenges in recent years, particularly regarding pest control and building maintenance compliance. The property has recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rat sighting reported in November 2023, following multiple bait applications throughout 2024. The building has open violations related to missing annual bedbug reports for 2022-2024, and there are concerns about inadequate front entrance lighting from 2019 that remain unresolved.

In 2025, there was significant activity regarding construction oversight, with multiple complaints about work conditions, including reports of illegal after-hours work, excessive debris, and work contrary to stop work orders, though most of these complaints resulted in "no violation warranted" findings or were related to permissions that were subsequently resolved. The building has pending violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2023, though a 2022 violation from 2023 was dismissed. Historical complaints from 2018 show various concerns regarding the boiler room and ventilation system, while recent rodent inspections from 2024 demonstrated ongoing pest management efforts, with most inspections requiring bait applications before achieving passing results in April 2025.
