Augrented Insights Report for 57 Jay Street

57 Jay Street is a 6-story, 23-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1896, currently owned by David Habif. The property has experienced recurring infrastructure issues in 2025, with significant complaints including multiple sewage leaks (most recently in June 2025), rodent activity (most recently confirmed in June 2025), and heating/hot water system failures affecting multiple units. There are also ongoing concerns about building maintenance, with multiple active violations recorded in 2024-2025 related to emergency situations, including non-functioning doors and security concerns.

The building has faced persistent issues with water supply and plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD service requests and violations. The Department of Buildings has identified several concerning issues, including two active ECB violations from 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy of commercial space (dog daycare/boarding business) and occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy terms. The building is currently under scrutiny for multiple environmental control board violations regarding occupancy compliance and unpermitted commercial use.

Recent history shows recurring rodent activity, with inspections in 2023-2025 consistently indicating rat presence. While there have been periodic pest management efforts, including bedbug inspections showing no infestations in recent years, the building has faced challenges with maintaining proper garbage/recycling storage and sanitation standards. The property has multiple open violations regarding building maintenance and safety concerns that require attention, though some previous violations have been resolved or dismissed.
