Augrented Insights Report for 119 Congress Street

The 119 Congress Street condominium is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1900 in Cobble Hill. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most concerning being a drinking water-related health investigation in mid-2024, though no violations or health hazards were found. Between 2020-2021, the building underwent substantial construction work that attracted multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including unsafe site conditions, ignored stop work orders, and inadequate safety measures.

These violations resulted in substantial penalties totaling $27,500, though records indicate they were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 shows no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2018-2019 showed inconsistent results, with some inspections passing and others indicating rat activity. More recent compliance records show improved maintenance practices, with bedbug reports showing zero infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024).

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 covering the period of November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no infested dwelling units. All housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2022 appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the subsequent clean bedbug reports. The building's permit history from 2020 shows multiple permits were issued for various work types, including plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and other construction-related work, though specific details on the nature of this work are not provided in the records.
