Augrented Insights Report for 288 Willis Avenue

The 3-story, 7-unit building at 288 Willis Avenue, Mott Haven, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Salvatore Gigante Jr, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concentrated in Apartment 3A. Most significantly, September 2024 inspections revealed ongoing plumbing issues, including mold conditions, inadequate hot water supply, and defective plumbing connections in the bathroom.

The building has a notable history of plumbing problems, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed throughout 2024, including issues with sinks, bathtubs, and toilets. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in May 2024, with violations issued for flooring, wall surfaces, and various repair needs. The property has experienced rodent sighting reports in mid-2024, with inspections from August 2024 passing, following earlier reports of rat sightings in July 2024.

While the building has consistently shown no bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2019 through 2024, the recent cluster of plumbing and maintenance issues raises concerns about habitability. The building's violations and complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 3A, where multiple open violations remain as of September 2024, including issues with floors, walls, countertops, and window mechanisms. The property has had a mixed history with rodent control, with some inspections in prior years passing, though there was a noted rat activity finding in 2014.
