Augrented Insights Report for 439 Brooklyn Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 439 Brooklyn Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Peter Piere, has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges since at least 2018. Most notably, there is persistent rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failed results for various reasons, and previous inspections from 2024-2023 indicating rat activity and other issues.

The building has multiple active DOB violations related to failures to file necessary external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, showing a pattern of neglect regarding required safety certifications. The property has faced significant structural and safety-related issues, including active ECB violations from 2020-2022 concerning unauthorized construction work, debris management, and building maintenance. These violations include an unpermitted metal porch structure, unauthorized wooden stairs, construction debris issues, and problems with a corroded ventilation pipe.

There are also violations related to boiler maintenance, including defective equipment and failure to submit required inspection reports. While some complaints resulted in inspections with no violations found, the recurring nature of these issues, particularly the persistent rodent problems and ongoing violations regarding safety inspections, suggests significant maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows limited permitted work, with a single permit issued in 2019 for unspecified work.
