Augrented Insights Report for 238 St Marks Avenue

Vantage 238 Condominium, an 8-story, 20-unit building constructed in 2008 and located at 238 St Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The building is currently facing active violations related to façade safety (LL11) issued in 2022, with penalties pending totaling $10,000, and a violation for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions regarding the facade.

In 2023, violations were documented for failure to maintain building walls, with reports of bulged brick walls, and there are ongoing concerns regarding an unsafe facade as per FISP report. The building has also seen recurring issues with temporary construction safety measures, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 through 2023, including inoperable lights on a sidewalk shed that incurred a $2,400 penalty. Despite these façade and maintenance concerns, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any apartment units since at least 2020, and the building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections since 2018, with only the initial discovery of rat activity in 2017 and 2018 when baiting measures were implemented.

Recent service requests include a 2025 complaint about smoking in a smoke-free area, which was investigated by the NYC Health Department. Multiple complaints regarding construction work, sidewalk safety, and maintenance issues were filed in 2023, though many were resolved or found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. The building's history also includes several past violations from earlier years, including work without proper permits and issues related to construction debris, most of which have been resolved.
