Augrented Insights Report for 226 Taaffe Place

226 Taaffe Place is a 5-story, 109-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Efstathios Valiotis and constructed in 1935. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints documented between March and May 2025, including issues affecting entire building and individual apartments. Recent inspections in 2025 have also revealed rodent activity, with the most recent complaint in June 2025 confirming rat presence.

Other maintenance concerns include water leaks, ceiling damage, and an intercom system malfunction, though many of these complaints were closed without inspection due to access issues. The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, with multiple active violations related to unauthorized alterations and transient occupancy. Notably, there are active ECB violations from 2022-2023 concerning Apartment #110's conversion to transient use, lack of proper fire alarm systems, and unauthorized bathroom/kitchen installations.

Historical data shows recurring issues with the elevator system, boiler maintenance, and fire safety equipment. The property's maintenance history includes periods of bedbug infestation (2022-2023) and recurring rat activity across multiple inspections, though there has been some improvement in recent rodent inspections. Multiple building systems, including heating, ventilation, and plumbing, have required attention, with several instances of work being performed without proper permits. The building's age and persistent violation history suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, though some recent inspection results show improved conditions compared to previous years.
