Augrented Insights Report for 243 7th Street

The three-story, three-unit apartment building at 243 7th Street in Gowanus, owned by Javier Avila, has documented several significant ongoing issues from 2021 through 2024. Most notably, there is an active Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with similar violations recorded consistently throughout 2021-2024.

The building has experienced persistent rodent-related problems, with multiple complaints in 2021 leading to inspections confirming rat activity and subsequent bait application. The property has faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction and safety compliance, particularly concerning a sidewalk shed.

Between 2022-2024, there were repeated violations regarding the expired permit and improper installation of a sidewalk shed, with penalties totaling over $3,000. Two active ECB violations from July 2024 remain outstanding: one concerning unapproved work related to job #321145051 (with a $1,250 penalty) and another from July 2023 related to unsafe sidewalk shed conditions (penalty of $2,400). The building's inspection history shows a pattern of unresolved compliance issues, particularly regarding required documentation and construction safety measures, which while not directly affecting habitation conditions, indicate broader management and maintenance concerns.
