Augrented Insights Report for 29 Brooklyn Avenue

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 29 Brooklyn Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ryan Colbert, has experienced significant and recurring maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, with the most pressing concerns being related to water damage, mold, and various safety violations. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a rat sighting that resulted in health violations requiring follow-up inspections. Three separate HPD complaints in March 2025 regarding electrical lighting issues, door problems, and water leaks, along with unsanitary conditions including mold, could not be properly inspected due to access issues.

Earlier in 2025, there were multiple water-related problems documented, including heavy flow leaks and damp spots, along with a carbon monoxide detector safety complaint that HPD was unable to investigate fully. The building's history reveals persistent rodent issues, with rat activity reported in late 2024, though subsequent compliance inspections in early 2025 passed. The property has also faced challenges with bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the 2024-2025 reports showing eradication efforts in multiple units. Inspection records from 2023-2024 show various housing maintenance code violations, including unsanitary conditions in multiple units (notably in apartments 5D and 2C), water leak issues, and structural concerns such as broken plaster and defective brick walls.

The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate periods of infestation and successful eradication efforts in multiple units, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing four previously infested units that were treated. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with both passed and failed inspections recorded between 2012 and 2025, suggesting ongoing management of pest control challenges. The property's maintenance history suggests a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints regarding leaks and moisture problems, as well as concerns about mold and air quality. While many violations have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of certain issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
