Augrented Insights Report for 20 Sidney Place

The five-story, 25-unit building at 20 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights, dating back to 1838, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between 2020-2021. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding plumbing issues (toilets and sinks), electrical problems (lighting and no lighting), unsanitary conditions (including mold), and cabinet-related matters. While inspections were conducted for many of these complaints, most resulted in no violations being issued.

The building has also faced serious safety concerns, including two Class C violations related to fire egress in 2020 and 2021, and several infrastructure issues including boiler problems noted in 2020 and 2021 that resulted in ECB violations regarding safety valve installation and maintenance. More recent records show improvements in certain areas, with the building successfully filing its bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024) indicating no infested units. However, there were rodent activity reports in 2021 and 2022 inspections.

The property has demonstrated some recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the multiple violations issued in 2020-2021 regarding the need for proper posting of construction documents and failure to maintain building walls, particularly regarding a disrepair of the wood cornice at roof level. While recent bedbug filings show no infestations, the building's history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance and safety compliance is necessary. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, though there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
