Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 665 Washington Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Albert Appleton and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control challenges over recent years. The property has consistently received violations related to overdue annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, all of which remain open as of the current date. These violations indicate a persistent compliance issue with the Housing Maintenance Code that has not been resolved over multiple years.

In terms of rodent management, the building has undergone regular inspections and treatments between 2023 and 2025, with mixed results. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 failed for unspecified reasons, while a prior inspection in May 2024 had passed. Between July and November 2023, multiple bait applications were conducted, and there were instances of rat activity identified in both May and July 2023. Despite achieving some passed inspections and compliance checks, the pattern of bait applications and activity reports suggests an ongoing challenge with rodent management in the building. The combination of unresolved bedbug reporting violations and recurring rodent issues indicates persistent pest control and maintenance challenges at this property, which has been designated as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Corporate ownership

Whether this building is registered to a corporate entity rather than an individual. Corporate owners tend to have distinct portfolio patterns.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
