Augrented Insights Report for 1238 Bedford Avenue

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 1238 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant has experienced recurring heating issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water reported between October 2024 and January 2025. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including a cluster of emergency complaints in November 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions (including sewage and mold issues), water leaks, and a 2024 incident involving a defective door/window.

Inspection records show ongoing concerns with building systems, particularly a May 2021 permit issuance related to facade repairs following reports of bulging and cracking, though some violations from this period remain in status as "active." The property has experienced various structural and maintenance issues over recent years, including active violations related to door functionality and sanitation in 2022-2024. Notably, there was a concerning incident in 2020 involving facade stability, with reports of falling stone from the fourth floor and surrounding facade cracking, though these issues were subsequently addressed through repairs completed in 2021.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in recent filings from 2022 to 2024. While there have been periodic issues with rodent activity as indicated by inspections in 2022-2025, recent inspections have shown passing results, though some initial inspections continued to show rat activity as recently as June 2025. The property has faced boiler-related issues, with violations issued in 2020 and 2022 regarding the heating system, though the most recent heating complaints suggest these problems persist.
