Augrented Insights Report for 268 Buffalo Avenue

The four-story, 32-unit apartment building at 268 Buffalo Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Kramer and constructed in 1924, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in and around apartment 4D. The most recent inspections in January 2025 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including problems with window frames, lighting, ceiling and wall conditions, and a slow water leak.

The building has open violations from September 2024 pertaining to apartment 4D, including rodent infestations, bathroom mold, plumbing issues, and problems with kitchen cabinets and flooring. A heat and hot water issue affecting one apartment was reported and resolved in December 2024, while a pest complaint from September 2024 was investigated but did not result in violations. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with the Department of Buildings issuing violations in 2021 regarding energy efficiency display requirements, and an active ECB violation from March 2021 concerning the boiler system.

There have been rodent activity inspections in 2021 and bait applications in 2019, suggesting pest management has been an ongoing concern. While there were two instances of bedbug infestations recorded between 2019-2021, recent filings (2022-2023) show no current infestations. The property has experienced periodic service requests and inspections, with HPD issuing multiple violations in 2025 that require the owner to make necessary corrections within specified timeframes.
