Augrented Insights Report for 187 Dekalb Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 187 Dekalb Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Oj Realstate LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most notably, there are two active ECB violations from 2021 regarding exterior building maintenance, including cracks in stucco and falling materials that expose bricks, with penalties totaling $3,750.

The building has also had recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage, evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2023 that, while investigated, did not result in any violations. There are ongoing concerns about pest control compliance, with the building currently holding an open violation for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HMC regulations. Historical data shows a pattern of construction-related violations, including multiple complaints about work without permits and violations related to a cracked sidewalk shed requirement.

The building's environmental inspections have generally been passed, including rodent inspections in 2016 and 2019, though there have been multiple food establishment complaints in 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and odors. While the property has maintained records showing no actual bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods, the violation for failure to file timely reports remains a point of concern. The Department of Buildings' recent inspections in 2024 regarding vent/exhaust issues found no violations, and various historical complaints about after-hours work and illegal conversions were ultimately dismissed upon inspection.
