Augrented Insights Report for 897 Crotona Park North

The 5-story, 11-unit building at 897 Crotona Park North in Tremont, owned by Jacob Shafran, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, particularly in 2022-2023. Most notably, there were serious concerns about the building's fire safety infrastructure, with multiple violations in 2022 regarding inadequate water supply for the wet sprinkler system and the requirement for fire guards due to observed fire hazards.

The building also faced multiple plumbing issues throughout 2022, including water leaks and problems with the bathtub/shower facilities, though inspections generally found no violations. Heat and hot water supply problems were documented in December 2021, with HPD unable to gain access to verify the complaints at that time. More recent issues include the building's rodent inspections in 2025 showing failures for various reasons, and concerns about the building's fire safety infrastructure, with violations in 2022 regarding inadequate water supply for the wet sprinkler system and the requirement for fire guards due to observed fire hazards.

The building's bedbug reporting shows relatively low activity, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) indicating no infested units, though earlier reports from 2020-2021 documented infestations in 3 and 1 units respectively. The building has also been subject to several Department of Buildings inspections and complaints regarding illegal conversions and vacant conditions between 2020-2024, though these complaints were generally found to be unsubstantiated upon inspection. Recent permit activity shows continued maintenance and improvement efforts, with multiple permits issued in 2024-2025 for various alterations and improvements.
