Augrented Insights Report for 165 Conover Street

The 165 Conover Street property in Red Hook, owned by Joseph Cafiero, is a four-story, 40-unit commercial altered building constructed in 1900. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding heating systems, water leaks, and pest infestations. In 2025, multiple service requests were filed regarding flooring, door/window issues, and an unsanitary pest condition, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints.

Earlier in 2025 and late 2024, there were recurring heat and hot water problems affecting multiple units, with complaints being filed between December 2024 and April 2025. The building has an active rat infestation problem, with multiple inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024 and 2023. Recent violations show significant building system maintenance challenges, including elevator maintenance issues (two ECB violations from 2024 with penalties of $3,125 each), boiler problems (multiple complaints in 2024 with penalty violations), and various door and window maintenance violations.

Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2024 indicate failures to provide heat and maintain elevator systems, while several Department of Buildings violations remain active related to energy efficiency score display requirements. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2022, though recent filings from 2023-2024 show no current infestations. A concerning pattern of inspection failures and access issues is evident, particularly regarding boiler and heating system inspections, which has resulted in multiple violations and penalty fees.
