Augrented Insights Report for 257 Nostrand Avenue

257 Nostrand Avenue is a three-family, three-story building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Dewey Dockery. The property has experienced persistent rodent activity, with eight documented instances between August 2023 and June 2025, despite multiple baiting attempts in December 2024 and violations noted by both the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Several housing maintenance complaints have been logged, including a May 2023 rodent-related complaint and a July 2023 unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage, though these ultimately resulted in no violations being issued. The building has faced significant structural and code compliance issues, particularly in late 2022, when two separate violations were recorded concerning unauthorized sidewalk structures: an unpermitted metal framed canopy and an obstructed egress passageway with an improperly installed fire escape ladder.

These violations were eventually resolved. Additional active violations from September 2022 concern a metal box structure extending over the public sidewalk and deteriorating overhead materials, with penalties imposed totaling $937.00. The building's documented history reveals ongoing challenges with both pest control and building maintenance, particularly regarding unauthorized exterior modifications and sanitation practices.
