Augrented Insights Report for 159 Baltic Street

The 7-unit, 4-story residential building at 159 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Abraham Miller and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent pest control challenges over the past two years. The property has documented multiple rodent-related incidents, with the most recent being January 2025, and evidence of rat activity recorded in inspections conducted in April 2025. The building management has shown some responsiveness, with multiple baiting operations conducted throughout 2024-2025.

In 2024 alone, there were several rat sighting complaints and multiple Department of Health inspections related to rodent issues, often requiring repeat applications of bait. The building's maintenance history reveals additional concerns, including a heavy water leak emergency in August 2020 and two Bed Bug Reporting violations in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent filings from 2022-2024 show zero infested units. In 2019, there were significant gas safety violations, including improperly installed gas piping, though these were eventually resolved.

More recent environmental control board violations from November 2023 noted issues with vegetation at the roofline, resulting in a $500 penalty. The property also faced challenges with filing requirements in 2019 and 2023 regarding external inspections, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. Despite these issues, recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate successful eradication efforts, with no current infestations reported as of 2024.
