Augrented Insights Report for 1240 Union Street

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1240 Union Street in Crown Heights, owned by Brandon Katz and constructed in 1912, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns in 2025 related to unsanitary conditions and plumbing problems. Most recently, in March 2025, HPD documented violations for unsanitary conditions (pests) and plumbing issues (toilets), though some other complaints from that period regarding appliances (refrigerator and electric range) either showed no housing violations or were not inspected. The building has a significant history of plumbing and appliance problems, including multiple complaints about refrigerators and sink issues in early 2025, and previously documented issues with heating and hot water systems in January 2025.

There are three active violations from August 2024 concerning defective hardwood floors in Apartment 1B. The property has faced recurring issues with mold and sanitation, with multiple complaints about mold in late 2024 to 2025 that HPD attempted but was unable to fully investigate. Bedbug compliance appears to be maintained, with no reported infestations in the 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 reporting periods.

Rat activity has been documented in multiple inspections, including recent findings in 2025 and 2024, though the building passed inspections in 2023 and 2022. Retained records show various building maintenance issues requiring attention, including window repairs and carbon monoxide detector concerns in Apartment 3D (September 2022), though there has been no evidence of bedbug issues since 2021, when a maintenance cycle of reports showed no affected units or successful eradications. The building's history indicates persistent maintenance challenges with varying degrees of resolution, particularly regarding plumbing, mold, and rodent issues, while showing some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent violations as of March 2025 suggest ongoing attention is needed to address unsanitary conditions and plumbing maintenance.
