Augrented Insights Report for 1506 Dekalb Avenue

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1506 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Deomattie Singh and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centering around heat, hot water, and rodent activity. The building has documented seven heat and hot water complaints between late 2021 and 2022, all requiring emergency HPD interventions, though many complaints were closed after tenants reported restoration of services.

More recently, the building has faced ongoing rodent challenges, with nine recorded instances of rat activity between January 2023 and July 2025, though inspections in early 2024 and 2024 showed "passed" results. Multiple rodent-related HPD violations were recorded in late 2021, and more recent inspections in 2025 continued to show rat activity. The building's violation history reveals several persistent maintenance issues requiring attention.

There are multiple open violations from 2018-2019 related to safety and maintenance matters, including exposed electrical wires in the first-story public hall, requirements for self-closing doors, and various health and safety signage requirements. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2020 show no infested units or re-infestations, indicating successful mitigation of that particular issue. The building's documented history shows a pattern of systemic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, along with ongoing pest control issues, though there have been improvements in bedbug management and some recent compliance inspections showing improved conditions.
