Augrented Insights Report for 870 Bedford Avenue

870 Bedford Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by 870 Bedford Em Np Inc. Since 2022, the building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with three emergency complaints in 2023-2024 alone (most recently in November 2024), though heat and hot water were restored or confirmed during inspections. The property has also faced various electrical and plumbing problems, including multiple outlet/switch issues (2022-2023), a water supply problem (August 2023), and a damp spot/possible water leak (June 2022).

Significant maintenance violations were documented in 2021-2022, particularly in Apartment 3R, where problems included broken plaster surfaces, defective bathroom fixtures, and an infestation of mice (with violations classified as Class A and B). The building's common areas have required attention as well, with multiple violations regarding household item encumbrances in public halls throughout 2021. Recent inspections have shown mixed results regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug reports (2025 filings) indicating zero infested or re-infested units since the program's inception.

However, there was rat activity recorded during the June 2025 inspection, following a passed inspection in 2024 and a failed inspection in late 2022. The building's documentation shows efforts to address various maintenance issues, with many violations marked as "Closed" after correction, but some problems have persisted or recurred over time. Notably, the property appears to have maintained an effective extermination program for bedbugs, with multiple consecutive periods showing zero infestation.
