Augrented Insights Report for 977 Bedford Avenue

The three-story building at 977 Bedford Avenue, owned by David Levitan and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent heating system issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2021 and 2024 indicating inadequate or no heat throughout the entire building. These heating-related emergencies, notably affecting all floors, appear to have been addressed through inspections, though they represent a significant pattern of maintenance concerns.

The building underwent a bedbug infestation crisis between late 2019 and early 2022, with records showing 9 units requiring eradication efforts during that period. More recently, in 2023-2024, the building completed its semi-annual homeless shelter inspections, though violations were noted including concerns about fire-rated doors, electrical wiring issues, and plumbing maintenance. The Department of Buildings records reveal several active violations from 2023-2024 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with fire-rated doors, electrical room openings, and gas mechanical equipment.

Rat activity was detected in recent rodent inspections conducted in 2025, though prior inspections in 2023 and early 2024 generally passed without incident. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, showing no current infestations, the persistence of heating system complaints and recent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone multiple semi-annual inspections with varying results, including several Oath Violations served between 2019 and 2024, indicating a history of regulatory scrutiny requiring corrective actions, including for water meter accessibility and fire safety concerns.
