Augrented Insights Report for 172 Union Street

172 Union Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Carroll Gardens, owned by Frank Cucuzza and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 2025, including a recent February 2025 building-wide heat/hot water complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues, and an April 2024 violation specifically concerning hot water in apartment 1L.

Other significant maintenance concerns include a 2025 door-related complaint, a 2023 construction lead dust issue that remains in progress, and several plumbing incidents, including a toilet issue in late 2022. The building's history shows a pattern of violations and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and resident amenities. There were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2017-2024, including issues with the heating system access, entry door self-closing mechanism, and various safety notices that required posting.

A notable recent event occurred in October 2023 when a violation was served regarding an un-signed construction job from 2019. While there have been rodent activity inspections in 2018 showing rat activity, recent Bedbug Reporting from 2021-2024 indicates no infestations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units in recent filings.
