Augrented Insights Report for 546 Dekalb Avenue

546 Dekalb Avenue, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and owned by Gregory Anderson. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints between 2023-2025 indicating building-wide and apartment-specific problems. Recent incidents include an open heat/hot water complaint from January 2025 that resulted in violations being issued.

The building appears to have persistent maintenance challenges, with several open violations as of 2024-2025, particularly regarding apartment 2A's kitchen ceiling conditions and water leaks. The building has faced various safety and maintenance concerns, particularly during 2020-2021, when multiple violations were related to construction safety compliance and concerns during a significant renovation project. This period included several ECB violations with substantial penalty amounts related to construction safety, housekeeping, and damage to adjacent property.

More recent concerns include rodent activity, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing varying compliance results, though a passed inspection in July 2025 is positive. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years. While some violations from 2023 regarding low-pressure inspection filings were dismissed, the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related issues, despite numerous repair attempts and multiple permits issued for various maintenance and improvement work over the past five years.
