Augrented Insights Report for 1142 42nd Street

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1142 42nd Street in Borough Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by Yaakov German, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding pest infestations throughout 2025, with seven reported cases between March and June 2025, including three emergency-level complaints in June.

The building also faced heat and hot water issues in May 2025, affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly corrected promptly. HPD inspections during this period showed some conditions requiring attention but generally resulted in no violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including three open violations related to boiler inspections dating back to 2019-2020, and an unresolved chimney-related ECB violation from 2021. Fall 2024 inspections noted various safety and maintenance issues, including problems with fire egress, door security, and pest infestation in Apartment 1B. Structural concerns were documented in 2024 regarding cracks in the brick facade, though a related illegal conversion complaint investigating these issues was ultimately marked as having "No Violation Warranted." While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, rodent inspections in 2014 and 2024 both resulted in "Failed for Other Reasons" outcomes, indicating ongoing challenges with pest management.
