Augrented Insights Report for 1298 Dekalb Avenue

1298 Dekalb Avenue is a four-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Gilbert Rodriguez. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2024 and 2025 for both the entire building and individual apartments, though many were resolved quickly with reports of restored service.

Significant maintenance matters have emerged, particularly during late 2024, including multiple complaints related to walls, floors, and cabinets, with some inspections unable to be completed. Notably, Apartment 16 (3rd floor) exhibited various issues in August 2024, including problems with water leaks, mold, and missing safety devices, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by November 2024. The building has maintained a consistent rodent inspection record since 2021, with most recent inspections in 2023-2025 passing without issues, though there were signs of rat activity in early 2022.

Compliance with bedbug reporting requirements shows no infestations recorded from 2022-2025, with the last reported case in 2020-2021 being successfully eradicated. An outstanding building violation remains active from June 2023 regarding an unfiled low-pressure inspection, while a permit-related complaint from 2021 was closed without access being granted for inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all recent inspections passing, and has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past three reporting periods.
