Augrented Insights Report for 1518 Jefferson Avenue

1518 Jefferson Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1916 and currently owned by Jake Ziher. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 2024 and into 2025, affecting the entire building. These heating problems were documented in January 2025, December 2024, and regularly throughout 2024, despite some complaints being marked as duplicates.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, with multiple rodent sightings reported between 2022 and 2025, showing persistent rat activity according to recent inspections in March and June 2024, and November 2023. The property has undergone several inspections and experienced various maintenance issues, including a period of unauthorized construction work in early 2024 that resulted in multiple violations and fines related to work without a permit and tampering with stop work orders. Building violations from 2023-2024 indicate problems with building maintenance, including issues with the concrete facade, fire safety features, and various other maintenance concerns, though many of these violations were subsequently dismissed or resolved. While the building filed its bedbug report for 2023-2024 showing no active infestations, the property has had historical records of pest issues, including cockroaches reported in March 2023.

Recent inspections continue to show evidence of rat activity, though bait was applied in mid-2023 as part of pest control efforts. The building's management has faced scrutiny for various safety and maintenance issues, including problems with garbage storage (May 2024) and multiple heating system complaints. Several building violations were issued related to the sidewalk shed and construction debris management in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug reports show the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no active or previously infested units for the most recent reporting period.
