Augrented Insights Report for 1251 Dekalb Avenue

The 28-unit, 6-story residential building at 1251 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, built in 2005 and currently owned by Peter Florey, has experienced recurring service issues and maintenance concerns over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of heat and hot water outages, with six documented complaints between 2021-2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The building has also faced challenges with sanitation, as evidenced by several pest-related complaints in 2022 and 2021, including reports of rat sightings. Recent occupancy concerns center primarily around fire safety door maintenance, with six Class C violations issued in early 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors and latches in various building areas, including stairways and the boiler room. The building's elevator system has been a recurrent issue, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 about single-device service and no alternate service, resulting in Oath Violation orders.

The property has maintained a generally good record with bedbug reporting, showing no infestations or eradications in recent annual reports since 2021. Most recently, inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed with no rat activity noted, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in April 2024. While the building has demonstrated compliance with multiple Housing Maintenance Code requirements, the pattern of heat/hot water complaints and recent fire safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that warrant attention.
