Augrented Insights Report for 240 Howard Avenue

240 Howard Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1907, currently owned by 240 Howard LLC and located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, and multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2022 indicating similar findings.

The property has also faced several significant maintenance challenges, including a 2022 emergency violation for mold in apartment 102 (involving approximately 10 square feet on North and West walls), emergency heat and hot water issues in apartment 1L, and various unsanitary conditions. The building has maintained a consistent record of properly addressing bedbug infestations, with all 6 units listed as eradicated in recent annual reports between 2021 and 2024. The building's violation history includes an active violation as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, as well as past issues with heating systems and doors.

In 2022, the Department of Buildings responded to complaints regarding building shaking and site conditions affecting workers, though inspectors were unable to gain access. A significant construction-related violation was documented in 2021 concerning unauthorized work involving the installation of new floor joists and metal strapping. The property has generally responded to violations, with many being certified as corrected, though there have been instances of inspections failing for other reasons, particularly related to rodent control.
