Augrented Insights Report for 28 Jefferson Avenue

28 Jefferson Avenue is a 6-story, 61-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Christina Pimentel. The property has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably persistent heat and hot water problems, with complaints logged in both December 2024 and January 2025 regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the entire building. Additionally, the building experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2024, particularly during April when multiple complaints were filed regarding mold, water leaks, and window issues, though it's important to note that no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

A specific set of violations was recorded for apartment 5M in April 2024, including issues with mold, window repairs, plastered surfaces, and water leaks, while a violation related to elevator service was recorded in 2018. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, including a rodent activity inspection result in September 2023 and multiple water-related complaints. While the building has passed rodent inspections in March 2025, September 2024, and numerous other inspections, the presence of rat activity in late 2023 raises some concerns about pest management.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the past five years. Historical complaints include elevator service issues and building stability concerns, though these were investigated and no violations were found. The building's management has generally responded to complaints and violations, with most being closed out properly, though some recent heat/hot water issues required residents to file new complaints to facilitate proper inspections.
