Augrented Insights Report for 242 6th Street

242 6th Street in Gowanus is a four-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Freehold 242 LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with three emergency complaints recorded between March 2023 and February 2024, though two of these were resolved within days of reporting. Water supply problems have also been a concern, with multiple plumbing complaints between 2023 and 2024, including a January 2024 immediate emergency situation.

The property has faced several maintenance challenges, including rat activity documented in rodent inspections throughout 2022-2023, most recently in April 2023. Multiple violations were issued in 2023, including safety concerns regarding exposed electrical wiring in the cellar, defective self-closing doors in various locations, and various repairs needed to exterior surfaces. Notably, there is an open violation from August 2023 related to exposed electrical wiring in the cellar and two open violations from June 2023 concerning self-closing doors in the cellar and boiler room.

The building has documented quarterly bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024, all indicating no infestations during the reporting periods. Recent inspections have also revealed some environmental maintenance issues, such as dust from construction work and garbage storage concerns, though many of these have been closed after inspection. The property is also maintaining compliance with updated safety requirements, as indicated by the certification by December 2023 for proper lighting installation at the front entrance that was previously missing.
