Augrented Insights Report for 231 Garfield Place

The three-story, four-unit building at 231 Garfield Place in Park Slope, owned by Samuel Hertz, has a documented history of maintenance and pest-related issues dating back several years. Most recently, in late 2024, violations were recorded in Apartment 2 regarding mouse infestation, missing self-closing door hinges, and noncompliant carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were classified variably as Class B and Class C violations. Prior to these issues, the building experienced multiple rodent-related concerns, with failed inspections in July and November 2021, and a pest-related complaint in November 2024.

An emergency heat and hot water complaint from December 2020 was resolved the following day, and there have been recurring garbage/recycling storage sanitation issues noted in 2018 and 2020, though these were found to have no violations upon inspection. The building's record shows regular monitoring for bedbug activity, with the most recent annual report for the period ending October 2024 showing no infestations. A series of bedbug-related violations were issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding the filing of annual reports, though these were subsequently closed.

The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations that ranged from safety concerns (e.g., missing detectors) to pest-related issues. While some violations have been promptly addressed and closed, others remained open as of the latest inspection in December 2024. The building's age (built in 1892) and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with keeping up with housing standards, particularly regarding pest management and safety compliance.
