Augrented Insights Report for 183 Congress Street

183 Congress Street is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and owned by Michael Goldstein. The building, constructed in 1850 and designated as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was an open complaint regarding rat sightings that remains in progress as of July 2025.

The building had significant structural concerns in 2020, with multiple violations related to water leaks, electrical issues, and interior surface damage, particularly in apartment 3F, which required repairs to plastered surfaces, painting, and electrical wiring conditions. The building underwent emergency work in July 2020 due to concerns about wall stability and brick conditions, particularly affecting the fourth exposure, and multiple violations were issued during this period related to construction safety and maintenance. During 2023-2024, the building has maintained a zero incidence rate for bedbugs, with all annual reports showing no affected units.

Recent inspections in 2024 passed compliance checks, though there were previous inspections in 2023 showing rat activity. The property has a history of construction-related issues, with several complaints and violations regarding sidewalk sheds, construction safety, and temporary equipment during 2020-2022. The Department of Buildings has issued multiple permits for exterior work between 2021 and 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and repairs. While some violations and complaints have been resolved, several structural and maintenance issues from 2020 remain relevant, including active violations related to building maintenance and facade stability noted in July 2020 inspections.
