Augrented Insights Report for 1055 Blake Avenue

The 26-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1055 Blake Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Meir Weiss, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the persistent heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2025 alone, including both apartment-specific and building-wide emergencies. The building has also faced significant electrical issues, including a power outage in June 2025 and various electrical complaints in 2025.

Safety concerns have been highlighted by multiple violations, including non-functioning smoke detectors, and two active Class C violations related to self-closing doors in apartments 1 and 17. Notable maintenance patterns include ongoing pest problems, with recent violations for mice and roach infestations, and water-related issues such as mold and plumbing problems. The building's historical maintenance record shows persistent challenges, including three open violations regarding low-pressure system inspections filed in 2023, and past violations for boiler and egress issues.

While there have been consistent rodent control efforts, with baiting applied regularly from 2014 to 2022 showing rodent activity, the bedbug report filings from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations during these periods. The property has demonstrated some improvement in terms of bedbug management, with all recent reports showing zero units affected. However, the building's age (constructed in 1930) and the frequency of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
