Augrented Insights Report for 266 Washington Avenue

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 266 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Margaret Brunn, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since 2019, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in 2025. Currently, there are open complaints regarding electrical outlet issues and water supply problems as of June 2025. The building has documented multiple violations and maintenance requests over the past two years, including plumbing issues (toilets, bathtubs/showers, and water supply), rodent activity, and various sanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

In October 2024, multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued, affecting apartments D16 (water leak and plaster damage), F6 (gas supply issues and missing window guards), and A20 (roach infestation), though most violations were subsequently closed. Recent inspections have revealed concerning patterns of infrastructure and maintenance issues, including active ECB violations from September 2024 related to unauthorized commercial gas dryer installations in the basement laundry room. The building has experienced recurring problems with its elevator system, though inspections in early 2025 found no violations.

Additionally, there have been multiple instances of heating and hot water complaints, though these were typically resolved promptly. The property has documented multiple bedbug infestations between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent report in December 2024 noting three units affected. While the building has received various permits for maintenance work, there are active ECB penalties associated with improper gas dryer installations and historical issues requiring correction of multiple permits, as well as recurring rat activity noted in inspections throughout 2024 and 2025.
