Augrented Insights Report for 1 Spencer Place

The four-story, four-unit building at 1 Spencer Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern regarding heating and pest problems. Most recently, in June 2025, there were three emergency heat and hot water complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has documented ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 consistently showing rat activity, including inspections as recent as April 2025. The property has a history of various inspections and complaints, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring between 2020 and 2021, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and maintenance of common areas. These violations, all of which were subsequently closed, involved problems with fire retardant materials, guardrails, internal doors, and ceiling conditions.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to various systems, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed through 2019-2025, though access for inspections has frequently been denied. While the building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations between 2018 and 2020, recent annual filings (2021-2024) indicate no current infestations. The property has also maintained its compliance with general sanitation requirements, with no recorded violations related to garbage/recycling storage.
