Augrented Insights Report for 1421 Dekalb Avenue

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1421 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Bernard Hernandez and built in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding pest control and building maintenance compliance. Most notably, a series of pest-related issues emerged in 2023, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations issued in June 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions, and an ongoing Class C violation as of August 2023 for a roach infestation in Apartment 3L.

The building has also faced recurring vermin problems, with recent rodent inspection results showing rat activity in 2024, despite some inspections passing. Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2021.

The building's safety and health compliance has come under scrutiny, with violations issued in August 2023 for various requirements, including the need to maintain smoke detector notices, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. Recent bedbug reports indicate infestations in 2023 and 2024, though all affected units were reportedly eradicated. While there have been some positive developments, such as the completion of several HPD violations in October 2023 related to posting requirements and building information, the persistence of active violations and recurring pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.
