Augrented Insights Report for 161 Hall Street

161 Hall Street is a four-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1885. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues, particularly with rodent infestations, evidenced by multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints and rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity, with the most recent bait application occurring in January 2025. The building has faced significant infrastructure challenges, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, power outages, and electrical problems, though inspections generally found no violations.

Two apartments (1C and 2C) had notable violations in late 2023 concerning safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues. The property has undergone several major inspection and compliance initiatives, including multiple Tenant Safety Inspections in 2023-2024, and a significant boiler-related ECB violation issued in September 2024 regarding the Peerless LC-08 boiler, which remains active with a $500 penalty. Structural integrity concerns have been documented, including masonry wall bulging issues noted in inspections from 2022-2023.

The building's management has been generally responsive to violations, with many being certified as corrected, though there have been instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during scheduled inspections. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug incidents through the official reporting system, suggesting this particular pest has not affected the building during the monitoring period. Recent permit activity, including an issuance in April 2025, indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the building management.
