Augrented Insights Report for 970 Kent Avenue

970 Kent Avenue is a 9-story, 103-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by William Dinnerman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most concerning being a series of scaffold-related violations in 2024, when inspections indicated inadequate support and improper storage of construction materials.

Multiple rodent inspections have shown a recurring pattern of rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2025 passing, though 2024 showed rat activity. The building has maintained an active and proper bedbug reporting record since 2018, consistently showing no infested units. Previous violations have included concerns about illegal conversions and unauthorized work, particularly a 2019 incident involving unauthorized partition walls and a loft/ mezzanine installation in apartment #113, though this was subsequently resolved.

The elevator system has active violations from 2019 regarding failure to correct defects, and there have been multiple complaints about indoor air quality and chemical odors in 2021. The property has undergone several permits for exterior work (EW permits) between 2018-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements, and all bedbug reporting requirements have been met with consistent results showing no active infestations. Recent health department inspections have addressed various complaints, though the nature and impact of these issues vary, with some being resolved and others simply resulting in inspection notices.
