Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 1251 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Julia Puma, is a two-story, 1910 construction property located in the Bushwick neighborhood. The building has recently faced some significant maintenance challenges, most notably in late October 2024 when simultaneous complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold were reported to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While HPD was able to conduct an inspection regarding the mold issue (finding no violations), the inspection related to the pest complaint could not be completed, and tenants were advised to file another service request if the conditions persisted.

The property's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture of conditions over recent years. Most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed compliance with no violations, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing as well. However, there was one notable instance of rat activity recorded during an initial inspection in November 2022, which marked a rare deviation from the generally positive inspection results. The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with all but one of the inspections since 2012 showing no significant issues, suggesting that while there have been some occasional pest concerns, the property has generally complied with health and safety regulations regarding rodent control.
