Augrented Insights Report for 251 Kane Street

The 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building at 251 Kane Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Richard Younger and built in 1894, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Between 2018 and 2021, the building faced multiple violations related to fire safety, including defective fire escapes, obstructed emergency exits, and missing safety equipment in apartments.

In April 2018, serious concerns were documented including deficiencies with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape conditions, and the presence of obstacles like flower pots and household items blocking egress routes. These violations led to multiple Environmental Control Board citations in late 2018, resulting in penalties totaling $4,437.15, though some were later dismissed. A bedbug infestation was reported in 2022 affecting 9 units, but more recent filings from 2023 and 2024 show no current infestations.

Building complaints have been recorded regarding egress issues and structural concerns, though most recent complaints from 2020 and 2021 resulted in no violations being found. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates no current infestation (Filing Period: 2023-2024), and there is documentation showing the building passed rodent inspections in 2014, with one initial inspection failure noted. While many past violations have been resolved, the building's history indicates periods of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018-2019 regarding safety systems and emergency access.
