Augrented Insights Report for 296 Ellery Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 296 Ellery Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Star 296 Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly in apartment 3R. As of mid-2025, there are active violations for failing to file the required annual external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, and there are multiple open violations from 2023 regarding mold conditions, roof leaks, floor tile repairs, and lead paint hazards in apartment 3R. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2023 and early 2024 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed.

Between 2020 and 2024, several emergency maintenance issues were reported and addressed, including problems with windows, plumbing fixtures, and safety equipment. There have been multiple instances of the Department of Building inspectors being unable to gain access during critical inspections, particularly regarding illegal gas piping and boiler issues between 2018 and 2020. The property has maintained an active bedbug elimination program with no reported infestations in the past few years, and has consistently documented pest management efforts.

Recent permit activity shows regular maintenance work being performed, with the latest permits issued in 2023 and 2024. The building's violation history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding timely response to inspection requirements and addressing repair violations. The combination of open violations, recent rodent activity, and history of pale maintenance issues indicates persistent property management challenges, though recent improvements in rodent control compliance are noted.
