Augrented Insights Report for 157 Garfield Place

157 Garfield Place is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rudolf Kats. The building has experienced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple rodent-related complaints in 2025 (four in May plus one in April) resulting in confirmed rat activity during June inspections. Previous rodent issues were documented in 2022, though inspections at that time passed.

The building faced significant heating system problems in April 2023, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints regarding the entire building, though inspections indicated the issues were resolved. The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbugs, with five consecutive annual reports (2019-2024) showing no infestations or eradication activities. Several housing maintenance code violations have been recorded, including requirements for proper safety notices regarding gas leaks and housing information, though these were certified as corrected by July 2023.

Historical records show a 2019 violation for obstructed fire escapes due to flower pots, and a 2019 fence height violation was resolved without penalty. The building underwent multiple professional certification compliance audits in 2018-2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access on two final attempts. Two building permits were issued in late 2018-2019 for alteration work, though the specific nature of these jobs is not detailed in the records.
