Augrented Insights Report for 131 3rd Avenue

The 6-story, 200-unit residential building at 131 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Ilsoo Kim, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues since 2024. Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about rodents and indoor air quality concerns, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found no violations.

The building has faced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks and toilet problems in 2025, and has experienced several heating and hot water service interruptions during winter months in late 2024. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with varying numbers of affected units reported between 2020 and 2024.
