Augrented Insights Report for 1511 Dekalb Avenue

1511 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Albert Dweck and constructed in 1931 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past two years, with three documented water leak complaints between 2023-2025, including one in March 2025 for a damp spot that was inspected but found not to violate housing laws, and a November 2024 heavy flow leak complaint that HPD was unable to inspect.

Other notable recent issues include a November 2023 heating outage affecting the entire building (inspected during the non-heating season), and multiple safety concerns in July 2024 involving fire escapes, door/window issues, and roof access that required emergency attention. The building has an active violation for failure to maintain a proper fire escape system, specifically regarding the iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening.

There are also multiple recent DOB/ECD violations related to pressure system inspection filings from 2021-2024, and concerns about plumbing systems dating back to 2018, including several active violations regarding gas line installation and maintenance. The property has shown evidence of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023-2025 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in February 2025 passed. The building's maintenance history includes periodic bedbug reporting from 2019-2024 showing no infestations, and while various housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2023 related to interior repairs and water issues, many have been addressed and closed.
