Augrented Insights Report for 251 3rd Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 251 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, owned by Zoriano Associates, Inc., has experienced several concerning events in recent years, particularly relating to structural issues and pest problems. Most notably, in July 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified violations related to rodent activity, marking an ongoing pest management challenge for the property.

The building has also experienced multiple structural concerns, with Department of Buildings violations in 2021-2022 documenting issues such as cracked bricks, spalled windowsills, and deteriorated stucco on various elevations. These exterior maintenance violations led to a series of Environmental Control Board violations between 2021 and 2022, though most were resolved without outstanding penalties. The building's safety systems have undergone several inspections, with recent years showing compliance in tenant safety inspections, though there was a noted failure to maintain self-closing doors at the building entrance in early 2023.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024, though records show zero infested units and successful eradication efforts during each reporting period. Recent inspections in late 2023 and early 2024 have continued to show rat activity, with inspections in September 2023 and January 2024 specifically noting this issue. While the building's management has generally responded to violations and inspections, the recurring nature of both pest problems and structural maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges in building maintenance and resident comfort.
