Augrented Insights Report for 1440 Dekalb Avenue

1440 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Luis Torres. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with recent records showing repeated issues with heating systems, water problems, pest infestations, and various building maintenance needs.

Most notably, there have been multiple documented instances of rat activity throughout 2023-2025, with inspections consistently confirming infestations. In May 2024, several housing maintenance code violations were issued, particularly affecting apartment 2R, including issues with a defective wash basin, water leak, plaster damage, and mouse infestation.

Documentation from 2024 also indicates concerns with building systems, including a heating complaint in December 2024, multiple water-related issues, and various maintenance requests covering electrical, plumbing, door/window, and plaster conditions. The building has active violations as of 2023 regarding a failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection. Historical records show regular requirements for bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, and two complaints about certificate of occupancy issues in 2020, though inspections found no violations at that time.
