Augrented Insights Report for 1248 Dekalb Avenue

1248 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Usher Shteinmetz. The building has experienced notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particular concern regarding access challenges for inspection of reported problems. Most recently, in late 2024, there were complaints about no lighting and radiator issues that became well-documented but remained unresolved due to inability to gain inspection access.

The building's history shows recurring patterns of maintenance challenges, including multiple electric and plumbing issues, unsanitary conditions (including pest and mold problems) in 2018, and water leaks. There are several active violations concerning the building's external low-pressure inspection requirements, with violations dating from 2018 through 2024 remaining unfiled. Safety concerns were documented in 2018, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R, as well as defective fire escape components.

Though the building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule showing zero infestations from 2020 through 2024, rodent inspections conducted throughout 2024 and into 2025 indicate persistent rat activity, with multiple bait applications recorded. The most recent rodent inspection in 2025 confirmed rat activity, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building's combined history of access issues for inspections, critical safety system concerns (fire escape, smoke alarms, CO detectors), and persistence of rodent problems presents a concerning pattern of maintenance and safety oversight.
