Augrented Insights Report for 843 Kent Avenue

843 Kent Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Markowitz and constructed in 1905. The building has a significant history of rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspections in 2024 consistently showing rat activity, despite ongoing bait applications. There were 11 documented rodent complaints between 2021 and 2024, including conditions attracting rodents and multiple rat sightings, with violations noted on several occasions by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building's maintenance history reveals multiple concerning safety issues, particularly in 2021 when various violations were documented in Apartment 1R, including illegal rooming use, water leak problems, and concerns about fire escape access. Other notable infractions include emergency repairs needed for smoke detectors and window guards in 2021, and multiple code violations related to improper alterations and occupancy issues. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance checks over the years, with the most recent Bedbug Reporting showing no infestations or eradications between 2022-2024.

Current active violations as of June 2023 relate to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019. The building has also experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with garbage storage (2023), electrical issues (2019), and multiple housing code violations regarding interior room usage, fire escape access, and water leaks in 2021. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple complaints about illegal conversions and unauthorized modifications, particularly relating to Apartment 1R, which appears to have been a significant concern requiring ongoing attention.
