Augrented Insights Report for 1493 Dekalb Avenue

The four-story, two-unit building at 1493 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Dor Chen, has a significant history of rodent-related issues and maintenance violations since its conversion to Class A status. Most recently, in October 2024, an excessive hot water temperature violation was documented in Apartment 2A, while multiple compliance violations were found regarding building safety signage and notices on the first floor.

The property has experienced recurring rodent problems, with three documented rat sighting complaints in February 2022 and at least two instances of rat activity in 2023. However, recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have shown passing results for rodent inspections, indicating improved conditions. The building has also faced some construction-related complaints in 2023, including one about construction safety compliance that resulted in a violation being served, and there were issues with dumpster overflow that received a violation in July 2023.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), suggesting successful pest management. The property's violation history includes both open and resolved issues, with the most recent being a 2024 violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which was eventually dismissed. While there have been multiple safety and maintenance violations over the years, the building has shown some recent improvement in addressing these issues, particularly in rodent control and compliance with inspection requirements.
