Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story residential building at 223 Kane Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Mark Melamed, is a converted Class A property dating back to 1901 with three assigned units. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-related regulatory compliance issues over the past four years, with open violations recorded in April 2024 and previous similar violations in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021 - all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. Notably, while these violations are technically open, the most recent bedbug report filed on May 26, 2023, covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022, showed no infested units, no eradications, and no re-infestations, suggesting that the building may have resolved its infestation issues, though the violation record remains.

Additionally, there was a complaint investigation regarding an alleged illegal conversion of the property in September 2022, which was inspected in November 2022 and resulted in no violations being found at that time. While the bedbug violation record suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, the building's recent bedbug reporting history indicates an absence of current infestations, though it should be noted that no specific certification dates are provided for the various violation notices. The property has maintained its three-unit configuration as per the current records.
