Augrented Insights Report for 499 Washington Avenue

The 16-unit, 4-story building at 499 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Tom Rosenberg, was constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported between May 2025 and 2024, including recent inspections in June 2025 confirming rat activity and bait application.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, though many have been addressed: these include water leak issues (August 2024), roofing concerns (August 2024), and multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to garbage/recycling storage (2025). Significant violations were documented between late 2023 and early 2024, including a Class B violation for obstructed fire escapes with household items (2nd story), and various issues in Apartment 15 such as a missing smoke detector and problematic fire escape window lock.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last five inspection periods from 2020-2024. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections have occasionally found conditions not violating housing laws, such as the garbage/recycling storage issues in 2025. The building's most recent documented permit activity was a work permit issued in January 2019.
