Augrented Insights Report for 859 Greene Avenue

859 Greene Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Thelma Johnson. The property has faced significant and ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building safety compliance. The building has multiple active ECB violations from 2019-2021 related to firestopping maintenance, with penalties totaling $47,500.

More recently, there has been a consistent pattern of unresolved Housing Maintenance Code violations concerning annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, constituting an open violation as of April 2024. The building has also accumulated six active DOB violations (as of September 2024) for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023. In terms of recent environmental and health concerns, the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2024, with several showing rat activity and the application of bait throughout the summer months.

The property has a history of various service requests and complaints, including a food establishment issue with bare hands in food (resolved), plumbing problems, and complaints about unpermitted work in 2020. While there were some building issues documented through 2024, including drainage concerns and debris complaints, most were found to have no violation at the time of inspection. The building's management has faced challenges in maintaining timely compliance with inspection and reporting requirements, as evidenced by multiple violations for failing to file required documentation, though some issues have been addressed through regular inspections showing "Passed" results for rodent inspections in 2025.
