Augrented Insights Report for 57 Remsen Street

The 14-unit, 4-story HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building at 57 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Catherine Yu and constructed in 1900, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2025, with violations issued for building-wide heating issues as recently as May 2025.

The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about cockroaches and mice infestations, particularly affecting apartment 4F in early 2024. The property has documented plumbing issues (including problems with basins, sinks, and radiators) and received citations for various housing maintenance code violations, including one open violation from May 2024 regarding window casing paint in apartment 1R, and another open violation regarding obstructed fire escapes. The building's elevator system has been a persistent source of problems, with multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2022 regarding various safety features and functionality, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

While the property has maintained an active schedule of rodent inspections, showing compliance in 2023, there have been documented instances of rat activity in the past. Recent complaints about missing signage and general building maintenance have been addressed, though access issues during inspections have sometimes complicated resolution efforts. Notably, the building has had consistent reporting of no bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent filings showing zero infested units.
