Augrented Insights Report for 1738 Union Street

1738 Union Street is a 4-story, 26-unit residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Dolly Vandecruise, located in Crown Heights. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant incident involving a DOHMH response to a smoking/vaping complaint in 2024-2025. Between 2019 and 2024, the building faced multiple violations and complaints regarding basic services including heat/hot water outages (December 2020), electric power outages (May 2022), and unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold (October 2021).

Of particular concern are current open violations related to safety equipment in apartment 1E from October 2021, including defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as leaky plumbing fixtures. The building has maintained a record of bedbug management, with recent filings (2025, 2024, 2023) showing no reported infestations. Rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed successfully, though the property experienced rat activity in late 2019 that required bait application treatments.

Currently, there are several active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, including failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores. Historical violations include issues with egress blockage (2018) and occupancy certification (2022), both of which were resolved through Oath Violations. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent inspections have shown improvement in pest management and rodent control.
