Augrented Insights Report for 308 Willis Avenue

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 308 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding building systems and safety compliance. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints between January and February 2025, with violations issued for inadequate service affecting at least some apartments. The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, with three separate electrical-related complaints in April 2025 alone, including issues with wiring and power outages.

Historical records show persistent challenges with basic maintenance and safety, including an open violation from November 2024 regarding a self-closing door mechanism at the first-story entrance, and previously documented problems with exposed electrical wires. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and passed rodent inspections between 2016-2022. However, there were access issues noted in multiple inspections, most recently during April 2025, where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate complaints about garbage storage and paint/plaster issues.

The building's inspection history includes several successful resolutions of violations, such as unsafe electric wiring conditions and various maintenance issues affecting public areas. The Department of Buildings records from 2019-2020 show attempted inspections regarding potential illegal commercial use, though these attempts were denied access, and no violations were ultimately cited. The comprehensive inspection and complaint history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems and basic safety requirements, though many specific violations have been addressed and closed over time. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as an old law tenement may contribute to its maintenance requirements and compliance challenges.
