Augrented Insights Report for 1521 Jefferson Avenue

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 1521 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1916 and currently owned by 1521 Jefferson Ave Corp., has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between 2024 and 2025, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025. The building has also faced multiple door-related issues, with emergency complaints about door problems in June, July, August, and September 2024, though no violations were issued following inspections.

Other concerns have included unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pests in summer 2024, and multiple complaints regarding building shaking or vibration in August 2024, all of which were closed with no violations found upon inspection. The property currently has two open violations from 2024 regarding building entrance door issues, including a missing proper sign showing registration number and address. An active ECB violation from April 2023 remains regarding cracks in the stucco veneer at the top of the building, with a penalty balance of $3,125.

The building's management has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or required eradications since 2019. Rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2012 through 2025, most recently in April 2025. Additionally, there are active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2020 and 2022. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, inspections have generally resulted in no violations being issued for most complaints, though the heating system issues remain a recurring concern.
