Augrented Insights Report for 2191 Creston Avenue

2191 Creston Avenue is a 6-story, 55-unit residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by Jaime Smith. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns in 2025 including safety-related fire escape issues and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, both of which received violations. There were multiple reports of building-wide heat and hot water problems in early 2025, and in 2024, there were two instances of broken/missing window guards reported. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent concerns about building safety and habitability, with a significant focus on facade maintenance.

In 2024, the DOB issued violations related to exterior brickwork at multiple levels, including spalling bricks, cracked window glass, and structural concerns. At least eight apartments (1A, 1G, 4D, 4B, 5B, 6E, 6C) have open violations related to lead paint hazard control requirements from 2024. While rodent activity has been documented through various inspections between 2022 and 2025, recent records show improved conditions, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing. The building's facade and structural integrity have been recurring issues, with multiple ECB violations issued between 2022 and 2024 regarding building facade maintenance, unsafe brickwork, and failure to comply with engineer's report requirements.

The property has been subject to several emergency orders regarding unsafe conditions. In terms of heating and hot water issues, there were multiple complaints in both 2023 and 2025, though some HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Recently, the building has passed inspections for rodent activity, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has maintained a zero incidence of bedbug infestation according to official records from 2021 through 2024.
