Augrented Insights Report for 50 Howard Avenue

50 Howard Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Darren Pearson. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant recent problems occurring in late 2024. From November 2024 through December 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with some violations specifically noted in Apartment 1R related to excessive hot water temperatures.

The building has also faced persistent sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with violations documented in November 2024 and earlier in April 2024. Health and safety concerns include multiple rodent sightings, with inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 consistently showing rat activity, though previous inspections from late 2022 and early 2023 had passed. The building's documented history shows various maintenance violations over the past few years, including issues with hot water supply, heating system access, and bathroom conditions.

In 2023, there were multiple hot water-related violations affecting Apartment 1R, while April 2023 inspections revealed problems with the heating system's accessibility and door repairs. However, regarding pest control, the bedbug reports for 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 indicated no infested units, though more recent rodent inspections suggest ongoing vermin control challenges. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violation notices, with some issues classified as emergency situations requiring prompt attention, particularly those related to heat and hot water systems, which are critical for resident comfort and safety.
