Augrented Insights Report for 234 Schenectady Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 234 Schenectady Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Yosef Hackner and constructed in 1907, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest issues, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025 remaining unresolved due to lack of access during inspection attempts, following similar pest complaints in 2024 and multiple reports of rat activity between 2018-2023.

The building has also faced various system maintenance challenges, including power outages in 2021, water supply issues in 2022, and multiple violations related to self-closing doors in 2022-2023 that were ultimately resolved. A concerning pattern of electrical and construction safety violations emerged in 2022, including work done without proper permits and unapproved electrical equipment, though these were mostly resolved through fines and orders. Recent record-keeping irregularities are notable, with active violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for several years (2020-2023), accumulating penalties of $10,000 for 2022-2023.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no confirmed infestations between 2020-2025. While several maintenance issues have been addressed through HPD inspections and violations, the building continues to experience recurring problems with both pests and basic building systems. The current status of numerous inspections and complaints remains somewhat opaque, with several cases of inspectors being unable to complete their assessments due to lack of access in 2024-2025, suggesting potential difficulties with tenant access coordination for building inspections.
