Augrented Insights Report for 648 Monroe Street

The three-unit residential building at 648 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Benny Bruer, has a significant record of maintenance issues spanning recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2023 and January 2024, including three separate heat/hot water complaints within a week of each other in early December 2023 alone. Additional recurring issues include electrical problems (four complaints in 2024 regarding outlets/switches), water leaks (both slow leaks and damp spots), and plumbing concerns.

The building currently has several open violations that warrant attention, including an April 2024 violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, a December 2023 violation concerning an illegal hot water heater installation in Apartment 3, and a March 2022 violation regarding blocked fire escape egress due to an air conditioner installation. The property's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with environmental and safety compliance. A 2022 inspection noted a cockroach infestation in Basement Apartment 1, and there have been multiple bedbug report violations since 2021.

Historical records from 2018 indicate issues with water leaks in the cellar and construction material encumbrances. While the most recent rodent inspection from July 2024 shows passing compliance, previous records from 2011-2012 documented periods of rat activity and required bait applications. A December 2023 complaint about an inoperative boiler also resulted in an inspector's inability to gain access for verification. Despite numerous complaints and inspections, many issues remain unresolved or require re-reporting for proper inspection access, suggesting possible persistent maintenance challenges within the building.
