Augrented Insights Report for 157 Halsey Street

157 Halsey Street is a 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Stanley Celius and constructed in 1895. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent heat and hot water outage reported in January 2025, though these services were restored promptly during inspection. A significant cluster of violations was documented in July 2024, including issues with plumbing (sink), door frames, paint/plaster (cabinets), appliances (electric/gas range), safety (smoke detectors), and electrical systems (outlets/switches).

These violations were addressed through inspections, with some being classified as "Non-Emergency" while others were more serious. The building has ongoing safety concerns, particularly in apartment 3B, which was issued multiple violations in November 2023 and August 2024 related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical systems, kitchen cabinets, and various other maintenance issues. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug inspections since 2019, with the most recent reports (2021-2025) showing minimal infestation activity, though one unit required eradication in 2019.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with recent "Passed" status in March 2025 following several instances of rat activity between 2022-2024. The building's history includes one documented complaint regarding unauthorized work in 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Two electrical work permits were issued for the property in 2020 and 2021, though the specific scope of work is not detailed in the provided data.
