Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, seven-unit building at 57 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Goldhirsch, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues and violations over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently three open bedbug report violations from 2022-2024, and serious safety concerns including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1, and mold issues in the kitchen of the same unit documented between 2021-2022. The building has a troubling pattern of emergency complaints, particularly in early 2022, involving heating/hot water issues, water supply problems, mold, door issues, fire escape concerns, and more, many of which required inspection but were not able to be verified due to access issues. Recent developments in 2023-2024 show multiple complaints about unauthorized work in the occupied building, with inspectors repeatedly unable to gain access. The Department of Buildings has issued active violations for work without a permit and for tampering with a stop work order, both carrying $2500 penalties. Additionally, there is an ongoing rodent issue, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 confirming rat activity and requiring bait application, suggesting a persistent pest control challenge that the management is attempting to address.
