Augrented Insights Report for 161 Henry Street

161 Henry Street is a 10-story, 30-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1905 and currently owned by Christine Cumming. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation as of December 2024 regarding construction lead dust in common areas.

The building has had multiple self-closing door violations identified during a September 2023 inspection, affecting the boiler room, laundry room, and individual units (6B and 8C), though these violations were subsequently closed. In May 2023, significant mechanical systems issues were documented, including problems with the elevator and boiler systems, for which ECB violations were issued - most notably, an improper motor room setup and various boiler-related safety concerns, with one active violation related to unpermitted boiler installation. The building has demonstrated generally good pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six filing periods (2019-2024), and consistent rodent inspection passes for eight consecutive years between 2013 and 2025.

Historical records show an active pattern of maintenance and compliance inspections, including regular tenant safety inspections and responses to work without permit violations in 2021. While the building has faced various compliance challenges over the years, including issues with filing necessary reports (such as the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report due in February 2023), many past violations have been addressed and resolved. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status since 2019 and continues to pass regular rodent inspections, suggesting effective ongoing pest management practices.
