145 Somers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, six-unit building at 145 Somers Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Josh Augenbaum, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in 2025, including multiple instances of inspection access being denied (for both wall and appliance issues), though one electric/gas range complaint was inspected and found not to violate housing laws. Earlier in 2025, there were also complaints regarding heat/hot water and wall conditions, while 2023-2024 saw an unresolved flooring complaint.

The building has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including two boiler-related complaints in June 2020 that resulted in violations, though these were resolved. A bedbug violation was recorded in March 2021, but subsequent annual bedbug reports (2021-2025) show zero infested units. The property underwent multiple unsuccessful inspection attempts for various issues, including flooring concerns in both 2022 and 2023.

Recent records indicate some attention to electrical systems, with a complaint filed in May 2025, though inspectors reported insufficient information at the time of inspection. Regular rodent inspections in 2017, 2018, and 2020 all passed, suggesting effective pest management. The building's permit history shows an electrical wiring permit was issued in April 2021, while violations and complaints were addressed through appropriate channels, with no outstanding penalties or balances.
