Augrented Insights Report for 191 Spencer Street

The 18-unit, 9-story building at 191 Spencer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Brandon Wechsler, has maintained a generally good compliance record since its construction in 2004, with particular attention to pest management and building maintenance. Most recently, in 2025, the building received a violation for spalling mortar issues on the 7th floor, though this was subsequently repaired according to engineer inspection reports.

The property has shown ongoing attention to rodent control, with multiple inspections and bait application throughout 2024 and 2025, though there have been several instances of rat activity noted between late 2023 and early 2024. The building's bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024 shows no infestation cases, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested or re-infested units. Historical records reveal some safety concerns related to exterior maintenance, particularly during 2020 when violations were issued regarding inadequate sidewalk shed conditions and pedestrian protection, though these were resolved.

The building has consistently passed rodent inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 also resulting in a passing grade. While there have been various complaints logged with the Department of Buildings across multiple years (2018 through 2025), most were either unsubstantiated, resulted in no violations, or were resolved through corrective actions. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular attention to both pest control and general upkeep, with violations typically being addressed promptly.
