Augrented Insights Report for 189 Bedford Avenue

189 Bedford Avenue is a 16-unit, 5-story old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 189 Bedford Ave Ny Llc. The property has experienced persistent heating issues, with ten heat and hot water complaints documented between November 2024 and April 2025, many describing problems throughout the entire building. A concerning pattern of structural and safety issues emerged in late 2023 to 2024, including violations for structural deflection of floor/ceiling joists in front apartments #4, 8, 12, and 16, and problems with fire escape access.

The building has also experienced various maintenance issues, such as unsanitary conditions related to pests (March 2025), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (Apartment 7, December 2024), and multiple heater system violations (notably in Apartment 5, January 2024). Several building-wide emergencies were documented, particularly around heating systems, which have resulted in multiple HPD inspections and violations. The building's recent history includes two structural monitoring periods in September 2023, one of which involved a vacate order that was later rescinded.

There are active violations related to the building's fire escape ladder access (October 2023) which resulted in a $1,250 penalty, and concerning issues related to the maintenance of safety systems such as smoke detectors and door mechanisms. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last several years. Historical records from 2019-2020 show evidence of rodent activity and the application of bait, suggesting previous pest control challenges though more recent filings have not indicated current infestations. The building's management has faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations for failing to comply with orders or properly maintain building systems, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and safety devices, with some penalties reaching up to $12,500 in past violations.
