Augrented Insights Report for 689 Seneca Avenue

At 689 Seneca Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement built in 1930 in Ridgewood, the property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, particularly concentrated in the period from late 2022 to 2024. Most notably, there has been ongoing rodent activity, with several inspections showing rat presence between 2018 and 2023, though the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed. Multiple serious maintenance issues have been documented in December 2022, including violations for plumbing problems (basin/sink), electrical issues (lighting), heavy water leaks, pest infestations, and wall/paint deficiencies.

These led to both Emergency and Non-Emergency Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. The building has also had several concerning incidents relating to illegal conversions, with multiple inspection attempts in 2023 and 2024 resulting in "Access Denied" responses. There have been three open ECB violations from late 2021 through 2022 regarding failure to comply with Commissioner's orders related to electrical work without permit, with penalties totaling $15,750.

The most recent Bedbug Reporting filings in 2025 indicate no current infestations, showing improvement in pest management. However, multiple violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates, particularly involving Apartment 3L, including issues with leaky faucets, rodent infestation, plaster/paint conditions, and an unauthorized air conditioning unit installation. The property has documented food safety incidents in 2022-2023, though these are primarily related to the neighboring establishment rather than the residential units themselves.
