Augrented Insights Report for 85 Skillman Street

The 7-story, 35-unit residential building at 85 Skillman Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Gross, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 2014. Most recently, in September 2023, a rat sighting was reported through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resulting in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building has faced recurring rodent issues, with inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in December 2023 and February 2024, though it passed inspections in June 2024 and June 2025. The property has also experienced significant maintenance issues, including a complete loss of heat and hot water in January 2019 (subsequently resolved), and a window guard safety concern that same year, which HPD was unable to inspect. The building's compliance record shows unresolved violations related to the failure to file required reports: the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report (due February 2023) and the Benchmarking Report of Energy Use (with multiple violations from 2020-2021, some resolved through payment of penalties).

An October 2018 Environmental Control Board violation was recorded regarding elevator maintenance issues, which incurred a penalty of $1,562. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no such incidents reported in the past five years (2019-2024). The property initially had concerns regarding its Certificate of Occupancy in December 2018, though no violations were found at the time of inspection.
