Augrented Insights Report for 227 Taaffe Place

227 Taaffe Place is a 7-story, 83-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Efstahios Valiotis and constructed in 1935. The building is currently experiencing significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks filed through 311 and HPD between March and May 2025, several of which resulted in violations.

In 2024-2025, there are also concerning records of lead paint hazard compliance issues affecting multiple apartments (203, 206, 213, 312, 401, 409, 410, and 607), with all these apartments having reported lead-related violations in September 2024. The building's mechanical systems have faced challenges, notably the boiler room violations in late 2024 regarding defects and leaking hot water piping, along with various Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to energy efficiency reporting and immediate hazards. The property has undergone several inspections for pest control, with rodent activity recorded between 2020-2024, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed.

Bedbug reports indicate occasional infestations throughout the past six years, with the most recent annual report (2024-2025) showing no active cases. Historical complaints suggest ongoing monitoring of the building's exterior, with various sidewalk shed and scaffold violations noted between 2023-2024. The building has a pattern of 311 complaints regarding water issues, with at least ten separate incidents reported between March and May 2025, including both heavy flow and damp spot descriptions.
