Augrented Insights Report for 2846 Briggs Avenue

The 16-unit, 5-story building at 2846 Briggs Avenue in the Fordham neighborhood, owned by Sam Farber, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, the building has experienced multiple heating and water supply problems, with residents reporting inadequate heat and hot water in April, issues with radiators in April, and violations related to heating and hot water in Apartment 2C from a December 2024 inspection. The property currently has several open violations from December 2024 regarding required safety postings, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building registration information.

There are also ongoing structural concerns, with active violations from March 2025 regarding building repairs, exterior conditions, and structural monitoring requirements, particularly noting masonry issues, window damage, and cracks between floors. The building has a documented history of pest issues, with multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests (including rat activity) reported between 2023-2025, despite some inspections showing compliance. Other maintenance concerns from 2025 include uninspected complaints about windows, appliances, and various plumbing issues.

The Department of Buildings has issued multiple violations to Digs on Briggs LLC, including one active violation from 2019 regarding construction work not conforming to approved plans. The property has undergone several structural monitoring inspections in 2025, with violations served, indicating ongoing concern about the building's stability. While the building has had some inspections pass for bedbug issues in 2022-2021, the persistent rodent activity noted in multiple inspections from 2022-2024 suggests ongoing pest control challenges.
