Augrented Insights Report for 145 Chester Avenue

145 Chester Avenue is a 4-story, 28-unit New Law tenement building in Kensington, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Simy Graus. The building has experienced recurring heating issues recently, with multiple HPD complaints in January 2025 regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. During 2024, several significant maintenance issues were documented, including water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, door and window problems, and multiple plumbing concerns involving the bathtub/shower facilities.

The building has been cited for various violations, including a notable one in August 2024 regarding obstructed fire escape access on the 4th floor, which was certified for correction later that month. The property has a somewhat troubled maintenance history, with multiple violations and complaints over recent years. In 2024 alone, there were violations issued regarding a defective window frame, while previous years saw issues with the intercom system, electrical concerns, and various maintenance problems in apartments 1A and 6B.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations or treatment needs since 2020. While there were some rodent control inspection failures recorded in 2010 and 2014, a compliance inspection in 2011 showed a passing result. Currently, the building has one active Department of Buildings violation from 2021 regarding the display of energy efficiency information, though this is relatively minor compared to other maintenance issues documented in recent years.
