Augrented Insights Report for 526 Lafayette Avenue

526 Lafayette Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Howard Teppler in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Recent data indicates persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding appliance issues, with multiple complaints about electric/gas ranges between September and October 2024, though most inspections were unable to gain access for verification.

A significant cluster of complaints emerged in 2024 centered around heating systems, with reports of entire building heat and hot water issues in February and November 2024. Notably, Apartment 16 has experienced multiple documented problems, including mold issues, water leaks, and plaster/paint defects throughout 2023-2024, with some violations remaining open as of the latest inspections.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2023-2025, consistently passing recent checks, though bait was applied several times in early 2023. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), there are three active Department of Buildings violations as of June 2023 related to failure to file various annual inspections. The property has shown some attention to pest control through regular rodent inspections and treatments, but the recurring appliance and heating issues, along with the documented mold and maintenance violations in Apartment 16, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
