Augrented Insights Report for 195 Vernon Avenue

The property at 195 Vernon Avenue, a two-family house built in 1899 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about unauthorized occupancy, with active violations related to an illegal Class 'A' basement apartment conversion that reportedly includes a full bathroom and kitchen facilities. This situation was most recently addressed in August 2024 and carries an associated penalty of $6,250.

The building has faced multiple emergency maintenance issues, including inadequate heat and hot water systems in September 2023 affecting the entire building, plumbing problems in multiple units, and a potentially serious mold issue. A violation was issued in 2023 related to visible mold around the bathtub in Apartment 2. The building has also experienced pest control challenges, with a rodent complaint filed in October 2023, though inspections between 2019-2025 indicate the property has consistently passed rodent inspections.

In addition, there are several open violations from September 2023 requiring attention, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, broken plaster surfaces, and a need to address unsanitary conditions. The property owner, Ian Blackman, has faced multiple compliance issues, including an August 2024 violation for an obstructed exit passageway. Despite these challenges, recent rodent inspections show an improvement in pest management, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 indicating compliance. The building's history also shows consistent maintenance checks, with successful passing rates in rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and attention to building codes, though significant quality of life and safety issues remain unresolved.
