Augrented Insights Report for 242 Schenectady Avenue

242 Schenectady Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights and constructed in 1907, currently owned by Augustine Pierre. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with eight emergency complaints filed between 2023 and 2024, though most were resolved promptly or confirmed as restored by tenants. Notably, an open violation from April 2024 remains regarding incorrect heating system notice posting in the 1st story public hall.

The property has documented issues with mold, particularly in Unit 1L as of October 2023, which has been classified as a Class C violation requiring tracing and repairs to address visible mold conditions. Additionally, Unit 2R had safety violations in early 2024 concerning defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected by February 2024. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received various violations throughout 2023-2024, including significant maintenance issues in Unit 1L involving kitchen fixtures and surfaces, though many of these violations were subsequently closed.

Historical data shows rodent activity was confirmed in 2019 inspections, though there have been no reported pest infestations since 2020, and recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) indicate zero infested units. The property has consistently filed for bedbug monitoring with no infestations reported across multiple annual periods. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture-related issues, there have been improvements in recent months with several violations being addressed or closed.
