Augrented Insights Report for 1501 Dekalb Avenue

1501 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jack Harari. The building has experienced persistent heating issues over the past two years, with multiple HPD complaints between November 2023 and December 2024, several of which resulted in violations and emergency responses. Notably, apartment 3R has been a focus of maintenance concerns, with violations issued for inadequate heat supply, broken locks, defective self-closing doors, and various maintenance issues related to water damage, plaster surfaces, and window problems.

The building has also faced challenges with water leaks and ceiling damage in 2024. The property has a history of unauthorized modifications, with complaints in 2018 related to illegal occupancy changes creating four Class A apartments from two, and 2019 complaints regarding unpermitted plumbing work. During 2023-2024, there were multiple violations and inspection failures related to building systems, including several dismissed violations for failure to file annual boiler inspections.

While recent rodent inspections in 2025 show passed results, earlier inspections between 2022-2024 indicated periods of rat activity. The building's maintenance record shows both immediate responses to tenant complaints and ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the heating system and water infrastructure. Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations or re-infestations during this period, suggesting effective pest management practices.
