Augrented Insights Report for 285 Bowery

285 Bowery is a 9-story Class A residential building constructed in 2005 with 206 units, currently owned by Megan Stevenson. The building has experienced recurring health and safety concerns, particularly related to its food establishment (likely a ground-floor commercial space) over the past several years. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple Department of Health complaints including food poisoning incidents, issues with food handling practices, and pest problems (rodents/insects/garbage).

More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been violations regarding improper ventilation/exhaust systems, with the most recent being an Oath Violation served in October 2023. Two active Environmental Control Board violations from December 2024 relate to failures to file required annual boiler inspection reports, each carrying a penalty of $655. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly evidenced by rodent inspections from 2024-2025 showing consistent rat activity, though some inspections resulted in "passed" results.

The property has also faced some housing maintenance issues, including a notable violation from 2018 regarding refuse accumulation in apartment 702. While there have been multiple bedbug incidents reported between 2018-2024, the most recent reports for 2023-2024 show no active infestations. The building's mechanical systems appear to require attention, with multiple violations related to low-pressure boiler inspection filings from 2023-2024 still remaining active as of December 2024. The property has received various building permits over the years, with the most recent permit activity recorded in 2021-2023, primarily related to electrical and plumbing work.
