Augrented Insights Report for 956 Bedford Avenue

956 Bedford Avenue is a 6-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 2009 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Howard Tepler. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and sanitation issues, with the most recent concern being a pest infestation report in July 2023 that required HPD inspection but was not able to gain access.

The property has had multiple water-related problems, particularly in September 2021, when several emergency complaints were filed regarding heavy flow leaks and damp spots, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. There have been persistent rodent activity concerns, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 showing consistent rat activity. The building has faced several regulatory compliance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple violations were recorded regarding improperly posted safety notices in common areas, including requirements for carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms.

Two open violation notices remain from 2020 regarding maintenance issues in apartment 6F, specifically concerning defective plaster surfaces and door self-closing mechanisms. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or need for eradication between 2022 and 2024, and the most recent 2024-2025 filings showing no infestations. While the building's construction date is relatively recent (2009), the recurring nature of water-related issues, pest problems, and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular attention.
