Augrented Insights Report for 915 42nd Street

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 915 42nd Street in Borough Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by Wenjiao Lu, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building experienced a heat and hot water outage in December 2020, though the issue was resolved within one day according to HPD records. There have been recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024.

The building has also faced several significant code compliance challenges, particularly in late 2020 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with proper building registration signage, safety notice postings, and the presence of encumbering household items in public areas. The property has a history of serious violations from 2018, including illegal conversions, unauthorized construction, and structural issues with a retaining wall, though all these violations have since been resolved. A boiler inspection violation from 2017 was dismissed in 2021.

The building's recent history appears more stable, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024) and successful rodent inspection results in 2011. The most recent bedbug report from April 2024 shows no active infestations or units affected during the reporting period. While the building has faced various challenges over the years, many of these issues appear to have been addressed, with fewer recent complaints and violations.
