Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

30 St James Place is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1876 and currently owned by Feroza Shaikh. The building's documented history shows a consistent pattern of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with annual filings submitted on time and indicating no infestation issues in any of the reporting periods from 2019 through 2023. Despite the building receiving four class A violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to submit the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, all of these violations have been closed and resolved. The most recent bedbug report filed in June 2024 covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023 and confirmed zero infested units, following a pattern of three consecutive years (2021-2023) without any reported infestations, including the previous reports from April 2023 and May 2021. The building appears to have successfully addressed all reporting requirements, though the initial period of violations suggests some challenges with timely submission of the necessary documentation to the Housing Preservation Department (HPD).
