Augrented Insights Report for 1657 8th Avenue

The four-story, 14-unit tenement building at 1657 8th Avenue in Windsor Terrace, built in 1921, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, particularly between 2018 and 2021. Most recently, between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple routine violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent annual report (for 2022-2023) indicating no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's history shows recurring concerns about exit obstruction, with several violations in 2018 related to blocked fire escape exits on the second floor, resulting in penalties totaling $8,875. There was also an emergency flooring/stairs issue in 2021 that received HPD violations. More recent inspections and complaints (2022-2024) have generally shown no significant safety violations, with most complaints being either not warranting violations upon inspection or being related to procedural matters rather than immediate safety concerns.

These included inspections for electrical wiring and Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2023-2024, all of which did not result in any documented violations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no recorded infestations in recent filing periods, and passed all rodent inspections in 2018, following an initial failure for other reasons. While the building has a history of violations, particularly regarding exit obstructions in 2018 and bedbug reporting from 2021-2024, the most recent records suggest improved compliance with safety and maintenance requirements.
