Augrented Insights Report for 85 Jay Street

85 Jay Street is a 21-story, 727-unit residential building completed in 2018, currently owned by Jason Schreiber. The property has experienced several notable events since its completion, including a significant construction-related incident in December 2021 when a window washer fell from the 12th floor, leading to multiple safety violations for failure to maintain proper safety measures, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has undergone regular Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections with recent complaints showing inspectors unable to gain access, though previous inspections had no violations.

Recent tenant concerns include a heat/hot water issue in January 2025 that was promptly resolved, and a smoke detector safety complaint that could not be initially inspected. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases since at least 2022, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have all passed. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, including an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical odors in October 2024, and multiple door/window-related complaints between 2023-2024.

Building systems requiring attention include recent food establishment inspections in 2025 and previous plumbing and electrical issues noted in 2022. The elevator system has been a recurring subject of attention, with multiple inspections conducted between 2022-2024, though no violations were found during these inspections. The building's management has generally responded appropriately to complaints, as evidenced by the timely resolution of most issues, though there have been some instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for required inspections.
