Augrented Insights Report for 70 Decatur Street

70 Decatur Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1889 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Hershy Beigel. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with particular concern over heat and hot water availability in early 2025, when multiple complaints were filed.

The property has documented pest and rodent problems, most notably through multiple pest-related complaints and eight instances of rat activity noted during rodent inspections between August 2024 and January 2025. The building's HVAC system and elevators have also presented ongoing challenges, with multiple violations related to elevator service and air conditioning support brackets documented between 2019 and 2024. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed multiple housing code violations, including issues with fire escape access being obstructed by flower pots and concerns over carbon monoxide detector functionality in Apartment 2C.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints, where HPD inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to the affected apartments. Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report for the 2023-2024 period showing zero infested units. The property has undergone several rodent control measures, with bait application occurring regularly in late 2024 and early 2025, though inspections have consistently documented rat activity.
