Augrented Insights Report for 688 Halsey Street

The 7-unit, 4-story residential building at 688 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yisroel Kanar, has experienced ongoing maintenance and sanitation challenges since 2021. Most recently, in 2023, the property received multiple violations related to fire safety and waste management, including blocked fire escapes and inadequate garbage receptacles.

The building has a documented history of pest and sanitation issues, with three separate 311 complaints in late 2022 regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions, and multiple reports of rat sightings between 2021 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 showed improvement with "Passed" results for rodent inspections. The property has also faced maintenance issues affecting individual units, particularly in Apartment 3 on the 2nd floor, where open violations remain as of April 2021 related to water leaks, floor damage, and ceiling conditions in the bathroom.

The building's management history shows some attention to compliance, with consistent bedbug monitoring since 2021 showing no infested units in recent reports, and the property has maintained timely bedbug reporting according to HPD requirements. However, two active Department of Buildings violations remain regarding the failure to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspection reports, dating back to 2020 and 2023 respectively.
