Augrented Insights Report for 408 Howard Avenue

408 Howard Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Bramwell. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems emerging in May 2025, including violations related to mold, wall and window frame conditions requiring paint/plaster work, and a water supply issue.

During 2024-2025, there have been multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, and several plumbing issues, including sink and water supply problems, with some inspections being unable to be completed. The building has also faced structural and maintenance challenges, with two complaints in 2023 regarding building shaking/vibrating concerns, and exterior issues noted in Department of Buildings violations related to cracked stucco and facade repairs. The property has documented violations in apartment 15 that include problems with mold, water leaks, and damaged fixtures, though some violations have been closed after certification of repairs.

While the building has maintained an active status for bedbug reporting (showing no infested units in the last several reporting periods from 2019-2024), there are historical rodent activity records from 2010. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints requiring attention. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have resulted in multiple violations being issued, with the property owner being given time to address these conditions according to housing law procedures.
