Augrented Insights Report for 167 Taaffe Place

167 Taaffe Place is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Harry Ark. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage filed in September 2023 and closed in August 2024. Notable past incidents include a mold violation (2022), water leak issues (2022), a pest-related complaint (2021), and a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building (2021), though not all complaints resulted in violations.

The building underwent significant renovation work in 2019-2020, during which multiple safety violations were recorded, including missing handrails, inadequate lighting, and failure to maintain safety equipment. These violations were primarily related to construction safety and pedestrian protection. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 to 2024 documenting zero infested units.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, following previous instances of rat activity in late 2022. A recent illegal conversion complaint filed in May 2024 was closed due to denied access, and an electrical wiring complaint from April 2023 was also inspected with no violations found. The building management has generally responded to most complaints, though there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification, particularly during the 2021 heat/hot water emergency and the 2021 pest complaint investigation.
