Augrented Insights Report for 351 Howard Avenue

The four-story, 23-unit building at 351 Howard Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Abe Bernat, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with the most recent complaints including an open mailbox issue as of June 2025. The building has had multiple door-related problems, with three separate door complaints and violations recorded between April and May 2025. There have been recurring pest issues, with two separate unsanitary conditions involving pests reported in May 2025, and a significant infestation issue documented in Apartment 21 during a December 2024 inspection.

Other notable concerns include a complete loss of heat and hot water reported in May 2025, though these services were reportedly restored during the inspection process. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure and comfort-related problems, including water leaks in March 2025, appliance issues, and multiple door/window-related complaints. A December 2024 inspection revealed several violations in Apartment 21, including broken bathroom fixtures, defective window guards, and maintenance issues with kitchen cabinets and waste pipes. The building's environmental history shows previous serious violations, including multiple citations for rat activity between 2014 and 2019, with the most recent rodent control efforts documented in October 2024.

The property has encountered several emergency maintenance situations in 2025, though most have been resolved through HPD inspections, with some requiring the issuance of violations that provide the owner time to make necessary corrections. The building has also had past issues with boiler operation and unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by violations and complaints from 2019. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by many complaints being resolved or closed through inspections, the frequency and variety of issues reported in recent months suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years, though there was one confirmed infestation in 2020-2021.
