Augrented Insights Report for 43 Columbia Place

The three-story, 12-unit building at 43 Columbia Place in Brooklyn Heights is a historic structure dating back to 1849, currently owned by Chaim Wurzberger. The property has faced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2023, particularly related to moisture issues, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations documented between July and October 2023 concerning unsanitary mold conditions. The building's third-floor apartment 3C has been particularly affected, with October 2023 violations noting mold problems in multiple locations, including window recesses and ceiling areas, along with issues requiring plaster and paint repairs, and concerns about roof leaks.

Additionally, there are more recent violations from October 2023 concerning a door issue that was also addressed by HPD. The building has a troubling history of vermin issues, with consistent rodent activity documented between 2019 and 2023, including multiple instances of rat activity in 2023 alone. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2024), the property previously faced serious regulatory scrutiny in 2018-2019 regarding potential illegal hotel room use, particularly concerning apartments 2A and 2D.

This situation resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations for failure to maintain proper fire safety systems and egress requirements, though these violations were ultimately resolved. Despite these historical issues, the building has maintained compliance with recent bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in the past three reporting periods. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the ongoing mold issues and the building's aging infrastructure, as evidenced by the October 2023 violations related to roof leaks and moisture problems, along with the persistent rodent activity that has characterized this property over several years.
