Augrented Insights Report for 224 Monroe Street

224 Monroe Street is a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jorge Benavides. The building has experienced recurring pest management challenges, with documented rat activity in 2024 and 2025, and previous rodent complaints in 2020 and 2022.

Water-related issues have also been persistent, including a sewage leak in May 2020, an uninspectable steam pipe/riser plumbing complaint in late 2021, and violations requiring annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The property underwent significant construction activity during 2020-2021, leading to multiple Department of Buildings violations and Environmental Control Board fines totaling over $10,000 for safety and permit-related issues.

These included improper scaffolding installation, construction without proper permits, and failure to maintain scaffolds according to code. While most of these violations have been resolved, there are active DOB violations as of May 2024. The building's recent bedbug reporting from 2023-2024 shows no infestations, and inspections from 2022-2024 have resulted in both passing and failing grades regarding rodent activity, indicating ongoing challenges with pest management despite some successful compliance inspections.
