Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 16 East 236th Street in Woodlawn, owned by Michael Hoare, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone conversion to a Class A property. The building's most significant recent challenge has been a persistent bedbug infestation pattern over the past four years, with records showing consistent violations of NYC's Housing Maintenance Code requiring annual bedbug reporting. Between 2021 and 2024, all three units experienced infestations, though reports indicate successful eradication in each case, with records showing re-infestation occurrences in all units during the most recent reporting period (2022-2023). The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, successfully passing the most recent initial inspection in April 2023. While the building has addressed the necessary bedbug reporting requirements, having filed the appropriate documentation from 2022 through 2024, the recurring nature of the infestations and re-infestations suggests an ongoing challenge with achieving long-term pest control solutions.
