Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 251 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill, constructed in 1850 and currently owned by the Estate Of John Mcfadden, has experienced several notable events in recent years that potential residents should be aware of. Most significantly, there is an ongoing issue with non-compliance regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, although no specific units have been identified in these violations. These open violations, which carry a Class A designation, indicate the building's failure to comply with mandatory reporting requirements under the NYC HPD regulations. On a positive note, the building recently passed an initial rodent inspection conducted in March 2023, suggesting that there are no current rodent infestation issues. In terms of community services, there was a health department investigation in response to a daycare facility complaint filed in late 2020, which was closed in January 2025, though the outcome of this investigation is not specified in the available data.
