Augrented Insights Report for 1492 Dekalb Avenue

1492 Dekalb Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Maria Lamanno. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent notable problems including a potentially hazardous situation involving an obstructed fire escape and hanging electrical extension cord reported in 2023, for which an active ECB violation with a $1,250 penalty was issued.

A bedbug infestation was reported in one unit for the period ending October 31, 2023, though the affected unit was listed as eradicated. The building's maintenance history shows various plumbing, electrical, and heating system complaints between 2021 and 2022, including issues with an electric/gas range, bathtub/shower, lighting, and heat/hot water systems, most of which were resolved following HPD inspections. The property has faced multiple safety-related citations, including emergency violations for non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2021, and a period of rat activity in 2023 despite more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing compliance checks.

Recent building inspections in late 2024 resulted in two violations: one for paint condition in the public hall and another concerning a self-closing door in apartment 1R. There was also a period of significant plumbing work in 2019 that generated multiple complaints and resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The building has maintained regular rodent inspections, with several inspections showing rat activity in 2022-2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvement with "Passed" results.
