Augrented Insights Report for 234 Spencer Street

234 Spencer Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Joe Central Brooklyn LLC. The property has experienced various maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems concentrated in apartment 3A. As of October 2024, multiple open violations were documented in apartment 3A, including issues with mechanical ventilation, wood flooring, bathroom fixtures, waste lines, and various repairs needed in the bathroom and kitchen.

The building has also faced recurring infrastructure challenges, with complaints in 2025 about window frames, and multiple incidents in August 2024 involving unsanitary conditions, heating, electrical systems, and pest-related problems, some of which resulted in HPD violations. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with three active violations related to apartment 3A as of October 2024, covering problems with ventilation, flooring, and various fixture repairs. Recent inspections indicate some rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing both 'Passed' and 'Rat Activity' results.

The property has maintained a pest-free record in its most recent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, with no documented infestations. While several historical complaints regarding construction permits and work violations were recorded between 2018-2024, most were found to have no violations warranted upon inspection. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being performed, with permits issued in 2019, 2020, 2021, and continuing into 2023.
