Augrented Insights Report for 209 Sumpter Street

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement at 209 Sumpter Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Chesky Engel and built in 1906, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between November 2024 and January 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both entire building and individual units, resulting in violations that required correction.

More recent inspections in 2025 show continued rodent activity, with the most recent June 2025 inspection passing, though earlier inspections in 2024 revealed rat activity. The building has a concerning history of unauthorized modifications and safety violations, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations still active as of 2023 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, and an active ECB violation from 2021 regarding illegal sleeping room construction in the cellar.

Past inspections have revealed various mechanical and safety issues, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors in 2023, heating systems, and sanitary conditions. While the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections (2021-2025 showing zero infestation), and has completed several rodent inspections successfully, the persistent heating system failures and unauthorized modifications remain significant concerns. The property has also had multiple instances of failed access during inspections, particularly in late 2024, which may indicate challenges in compliance verification.
