Augrented Insights Report for 875 Dekalb Avenue

The six-story, 35-unit residential building at 875 Dekalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Simon Kaufman and constructed in 2015, has experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2024 and early 2025. Most notably, there was a substantial heating and hot water system failure in December 2024 affecting multiple units, with at least nine separate complaints filed through 311 regarding heat/hot water problems, some of which were classified as emergencies.

These issues resulted in multiple housing maintenance code violations for apartments 3F, 4A, and 6D, including inadequate heat, hot water deficiencies, and gas supply problems, though records indicate these violations were certified as corrected by December 26, 2024. More recent building matters include two active concerns as of June 2025: a complaint about the elevator system (entered June 2025) and a previous complaint regarding defective electrical wiring from December 2024.

The building also has multiple outstanding Department of Buildings violations related to energy benchmarking and efficiency score display requirements, dating from 2020-2021. While the building has maintained generally good pest control records, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and recent rodent inspections showing "Passed" results, there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2024. The property has a history of elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints about single device service dating back to at least 2020, including a safety-related violation regarding door lock monitoring from 2020 that was resolved through a $1,250 penalty.
