Augrented Insights Report for 505 Central Avenue

505 Central Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Joe Jacobs. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2023-2025, with multiple emergency service requests related to water leaks (heavy flow), electrical problems (poor lighting and power outages), and pest infestations.

Most recently, in May 2025, there were simultaneous complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests) and electrical issues, along with a water leak violation that required owner correction. The building has faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by rat sightings in inspections from 2023-2025, though there have been some "Passed" results in previous inspections. The property has documented violations requiring owner attention, including a December 2024 violation regarding a loose scuttle ladder on the 3rd story and a December 2024 violation related to garbage accumulation in the front yard.

A prior gas safety issue was noted in 2021, concerning improper installation of heating equipment in Apartment 3L, which resulted in penalties. The building's bedbug reports from 2021-2025 consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. While the property has generated numerous service requests and violations, many have been promptly addressed and closed, though some recent issues in 2025 remain notable for their frequency and variety, including plumbing, electrical, and pest-related concerns.
