Augrented Insights Report for 178 Rockaway Avenue

178 Rockaway Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building built in 1910 and currently owned by Kings Villas LLC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with notable concerns about sanitation and safety. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene discovered violations related to rodent infestation, with confirmed rat activity found during a July 2025 inspection.

Previous violations include multiple issues recorded in August 2024, where inspections were conducted for various concerns including plumbing (bathtub/shower, radiator, water supply, and boiler), safety (sprinkler systems), and interior conditions (paint/plaster). Noteworthy housing violations from 2024 include problems with the front entrance door push bar (not self-latching), accumulation of refuse, and the need for proper garbage receptacles, with some violations still listed as open. The building has a documented history of temperature and pest control issues, with an infraction in February 2024 for hot water exceeding 130 degrees in apartment 1R, and a pest infestation documented in the same apartment.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2020 and 2025. While there have been two complaints about vacant and unguarded conditions in 2022 and 2024, inspections did not warrant any violations at the time. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple citations for code violations, though many have been resolved including issues with garbage disposal, cleaning requirements, and other maintenance matters.
