Augrented Insights Report for 205 Rochester Avenue

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 205 Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Reuven Sobel and constructed in 1919, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems in early 2022, including two separate complaints about inadequate heat and hot water supply in January and February that resulted in violations.

The building is currently facing a water leak issue from May 2024 that remains unresolved due to inspection access difficulties. The property also experienced multiple concerning conditions during 2019-2020, including three separate emergency heating system complaints in January 2022, window frame issues (with violations noted), and environmental control board violations related to construction safety. During 2019, while under construction, there were several safety violations recorded, particularly regarding inadequate stair safety and missing handrails, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025 show no instances of infestation, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in February 2025 showing no issues. Historical records indicate the building has undergone various permitted alterations and repair work between 2018-2019, with multiple permits issued for different types of work including plumbing, electrical, and alteration permits.
