Augrented Insights Report for 116 Kingston Avenue

116 Kingston Avenue is a two-story, two-family house located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Gongfang Chen. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic utilities, particularly in mid-2021 when there were multiple emergency complaints regarding water supply and power outages, leading to violations related to inadequate light, ventilation, and water supply in the 2nd floor apartment. More recent concerns include several food establishment violations in 2024-2025 involving rodent/insect issues and unpermitted operations, though these were closed by the NYC Health Department.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to pest control, with 2024 feeding passed rodent inspections, contrasting with previous rat activity findings in 2021 and 2020. The property has had multiple Department of Buildings violations related to filing requirements for external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021, though these were all ultimately dismissed. There were three unsuccessful inspection attempts in 2021-2025 regarding various permits and an illegal conversion complaint.

The recent bedbug reports for 2022-2025 have shown no infestations in any units. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the frequency of utility-related complaints and the historical pattern of pest issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure maintenance. The most recent building violations were resolved in May 2025, primarily concerning inspection filing requirements rather than active maintenance issues.
