Augrented Insights Report for 54 Remsen Street

The four-unit, four-story building at 54 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1844 and currently owned by Robert Vance, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple Tenant Safety Inspections in 2024 that resulted in Oath Violations, and ECB violations were issued in 2024 for failure to comply with previous Commissioner's Orders regarding inadequate Tenant Protection Plans (TPP) from January 2020, with penalties totaling $2,500.

The building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2023, with violations issued in 2021-2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings in 2024-2025 show zero infested units. A rodent sighting was reported in May 2023, but the Department of Health's subsequent inspection found no violations, and all past rodent inspections (2013-2023) resulted in passing grades. Historical records show multiple violations from 1988 that were related to building maintenance issues, including problems with refuse accumulation, cellar conditions, electrical wiring, and heating system access, though these were all marked as resolved.

The building underwent significant work in 2020 that resulted in several violations regarding TPP requirements and work without permits, though inspections in 2020-2021 found no violations warranting citations. Recent bedbug report filings in 2023-2025 indicate improved compliance, showing no evidence of infestations during the reporting period. The property has maintained generally good standing in recent inspections, with all rodent and bedbug-related inspections showing compliance, though the recent Oath Violations and ECB fines suggest some ongoing regulatory oversight requirements.
