Augrented Insights Report for 161 Utica Avenue

The 23-unit, 4-story tenement building at 161 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Yida Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and water leaks, some of which resulted in HPD violations.

The building has an active mold violation as of May 2025, and there are ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming persistent problems. The property has a history of boiler-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2023 regarding defective equipment, though a June 2023 violation for poor boiler conditions was still listed as active with a $3,125 penalty. Apartment 3P has been a particular focus of recent violations (2024), with issues documented including problems with doors, electrical outlets, and a kitchen cabinet, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has also faced repeated inspection access issues, particularly regarding illegal conversion complaints in 2020 and 2024, as well as various emergency complaints, some of which were closed without proper inspection due to lack of access. While the property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past several years, the pattern of maintenance violations and inspection access issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Recent permits issued in 2024 indicate some level of maintenance activity, though the building continues to receive new service requests and violations.
