Augrented Insights Report for 213 Taaffe Place

213 Taaffe Place is a 90-unit, 5-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Efstathios Valiotis. The property has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in 2024-2025 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific outages.

Notably, there are two active ventilation system violations as of June 2025, and violations documented in 2024 for carbon monoxide detector issues, bathroom mold, and various maintenance problems in apartment 211. The building has a recent history of illegal conversion and short-term rental concerns, with multiple complaints between 2022-2025 regarding unauthorized hotel rooms, though some inspections resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings.

There have been significant maintenance and safety violations, including problems with self-closing doors, fire safety systems, and unauthorized construction work. The building's environmental and safety compliance history shows regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, though there have been issues with building management's failure to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2022-2023. The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports in 2023-2024 showing one unit affected each year, while previous years (2019-2022) reported higher infestation counts.
