Augrented Insights Report for 187 Rochester Avenue

The 20-unit, 4-story tenement building at 187 Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jay Lubin and constructed in 1910, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a power outage in February 2025 that prompted an HPD inspection, though the inspection could not be completed.

Between March and August 2024, multiple complaints were filed and inspected, including issues with heat/hot water, flooring, various electrical problems, and unsanitary conditions including mold - while no violations were issued for most of these, violations were noted for the mold issue. More recent complaints from June 2025 show ongoing concerns with electrical issues (lighting), safety (smoke detectors), and various maintenance matters including doors, windows, and wall conditions. The building has faced persistent challenges with pest control and maintenance issues.

In 2024, there were confirmed roach infestations in apartments 4 and 19, and multiple violations were documented regarding the roof leaks affecting apartment 19. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2014 and 2024, with mixed results - most recently passing a compliance inspection in February 2024, though a December 2023 inspection had failed for "Other Reasons." Historical data shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, with no current or recent infestations reported. The building has had several Department of Buildings permit issuances between 2018-2021 for plumbing and electrical work, including an unspecified "EW" permit in 2018, though there are no detailed violation records or issues noted on the DOB inspection reports.
