Augrented Insights Report for 495 Washington Avenue

The 6-story, 42-unit building at 495 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Eli Harrar and built in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past five years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding door conditions and unsanitary garbage storage, though HPD inspections found no housing law violations.

The building has an ongoing rodent issue, with rat activity confirmed in April 2025 and previous sightings in 2024, despite multiple bait applications in 2020-2021. Three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 are particularly concerning, including issues with door maintenance, building entrance signage, and a failure to file annual bedbug reports. The building has a history of various maintenance challenges, including multiple door-related complaints in 2025, an elevator maintenance issue in 2023, and water leak problems in 2022 and 2023.

Significant violations from 2019-2021 involved exterior maintenance, including spalling masonry, and improper waste storage, with penalties totaling $3,000. Historical data shows recurring issues with building systems and structure, including a 2019 complaint about bulging/cracked walls and multiple sanitation-related violations. While some older violations have been resolved or dismissed, including those related to boiler inspection and Category 5 inspection requirements from 2018-2019, the persistence of rodent problems and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
