Augrented Insights Report for 1217 Decatur Street

1217 Decatur Street is a two-family residence built in 1915, currently owned by Keqi Wei, located in Bushwick. The property has experienced several notable issues between 2018 and 2023, particularly regarding construction activities. In 2020, there was a series of complaints and violations related to unauthorized construction work, including multiple citations for illegal after-hours work and failures to comply with stop work orders.

These violations resulted in several Environmental Control Board (ECB) penalties totaling $8,000, primarily against a contractor, Blue Chip Painting and Co., for working without proper permits and not complying with commissioner's orders. The building also faced one significant rodent-related complaint in July 2018, though subsequent inspections passed successfully through 2025. The property has shown good recent maintenance regarding pest control, with bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicating no infestation issues.

Rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 passed successfully, with only one failed inspection in July 2018 for unspecified reasons. While there were multiple construction-related complaints from 2019-2020, most were either unsubstantiated or resolved without penalties, and the issues appear to have been addressed. The building's permit history shows legitimate work being conducted in 2020 and 2021, with proper permits issued for maintenance work. The current state of the building, as evidenced by recent rodent inspections and bedbug reports, suggests improved compliance with health and safety standards, though the past construction-related violations represent the most significant cluster of issues on record for this property.
