Augrented Insights Report for 185 Utica Avenue

185 Utica Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by James Giordano. The property has experienced ongoing regulatory challenges, particularly regarding building safety compliance, with several active violations as of 2025.

Most notably, there are persistent issues with unaddressed bedbug report filing requirements from 2021 through 2024, and two concerning structural violations from 2019 remain active, including problems with cracked bricks, deteriorating roof conditions, and hanging debris. In 2023/2024, multiple violations were recorded concerning a sidewalk shed and inadequate lighting, with penalties totaling $10,000 imposed for safety violations that created hazardous conditions for pedestrians. The building's recent inspection history shows variable maintenance conditions, with a rat sighting reported in mid-2022 that was addressed and closed following a Department of Health inspection.

A pattern of complaints throughout 2023/2024 predominantly focused on sidewalk shed safety and lighting issues, with several inspections resulting in Oath Violations Served. The property was documented as structurally compromised in 2021, requiring emergency work to remove hanging debris from windows, though violations regarding this issue have not been resolved as of 2025. While some earlier violations have been dismissed or resolved, including a 2019 ECB violation regarding failure to certify correction, the building continues to present multiple open violations that suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
