Augrented Insights Report for 1525 Dorchester Road

1525 Dorchester Road is a four-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1913 in the Flatbush neighborhood, currently owned by 1525 Dorchester Co Inc. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly concerning problems related to moisture and sanitation. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold (January), water leaks (January), and heating issues (January). The building's history shows persistent challenges with moisture and mold, with similar complaints documented in previous years.

Several violations remain open or were recently issued, including a Class C violation from October 2024 concerning defective self-closing doors in Apartment 5, and a Class B violation from July 2024 regarding mold conditions in Apartment 4. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2019-2024, including significant concerns about electrical systems and unauthorized construction work. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of unresolved issues and inspections where access could not be obtained, particularly concerning water leaks and window frame problems. Notable past concerns include a 2022 boiler-related violation, and a 2020 violation regarding an allegedly illegal apartment conversion in the cellar.

The property has documented bedbug infestations in 2024 and previously in 2021, though recent filings show successful eradication efforts. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with passes in 2022 but previous failures indicating rat activity in 2019. The building's management has faced multiple environmental control board violations, including failure to comply with orders and inadequate maintenance conditions, though many have been resolved. The persistence of moisture-related issues, unsanitary conditions, and ongoing violations suggests continuing maintenance challenges within the building.
