Augrented Insights Report for 359 Court Street

359 Court Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by James Geritano and classified as an OLD LAW TENEMENT. The property has recently experienced multiple issues requiring attention, with three complaints filed in April 2025 related to electrical wiring, door problems, and paint/plaster issues, resulting in violations that require correction by the property owner. The building has persistent bedbug reporting violations for 2021-2024, and several open violations from 2019 concerning apartment 3, including issues with water leaks, peeling paint, and defective plaster surfaces.

Significant structural concerns have emerged, with active ECB violations from 2024 regarding unauthorized shoring work and rotted, sagging wooden beams in the cellar area, for which penalties of $1,250 each have been imposed. Multiple violations regarding the failure to maintain proper boiler systems have been documented between 2018-2025, with active issues concerning incomplete removal of old equipment and improper installation of new systems. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with inspections and compliance.

Between 2018 and 2024, there have been multiple violations regarding the failure to file required inspections for external low-pressure systems, representing regulatory non-compliance that requires attention. Recent complaints have also noted issues with door security and electrical systems, though some of these violations were not found to violate HPD's housing laws. The property has experienced periodic rodent activity, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2023 resulting in compliance approval, though earlier inspections in 2018 required bait application for active rat problems. While some maintenance issues have been addressed through inspections and violations processes, the building continues to exhibit persistent maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding its heating systems and structural elements.
