Augrented Insights Report for 68 Remsen Street

68 Remsen Street is an 11-story, 103-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1929 and currently owned by John Menton. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues from 2024 through 2025, with the most pressing recent concern being an active Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust in common areas from March 2025. The property has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple non-emergency complaints about leaks in early 2024, particularly affecting the 10th-floor apartment 10C, which also experienced various maintenance issues including problems with doors, electrical systems, and required safety equipment.

The building's most recent violations include an open active violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection records, and two open elevator-related violations from September 2019 regarding failure to correct defects noted in a 2017 inspection. The building's history shows a pattern of plumbing and maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about defective or leaking systems recorded through 2024, though most were closed without violations being found upon inspection. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years and passing rodent inspections in 2013, 2015, and 2023.

The building has faced challenges complying with benchmarking and reporting requirements, evidenced by violations regarding energy use reports in 2024, though previous violations were dismissed in 2024. The property has undergone various permitted work in recent years, with multiple electrical and plumbing permits issued between 2018 and 2020. Historical data shows that when violations have been issued, they have generally been addressed, with most being closed or resolved through proper certification, though some open violations remain active as of the current date.
