Augrented Insights Report for 221 Ashland Place

The three-story, 32-unit residential building at 221 Ashland Place in Fort Greene, owned by Larry Hirschfield and built in 1930, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and unsanitary conditions. As of June 2025, there are two open complaints with HPD, including a general cabinet issue from June 2025 and an entire building heat/hot water problem from April 2025.

The building has faced repeated heat-related issues, with three emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2025 alone, and similar problems in earlier years, including a January 2024 complaint that required inspection. Multiple reports of unsanitary conditions were documented in mid-2024, including sewage and mold problems, though inspections did not result in violations being issued. The building's safety features have come under scrutiny, with a October 2024 inspection revealing several fire safety violations that were subsequently closed, including issues with self-closing doors and carbon monoxide detectors.

A significant number of complaints regarding the boiler system were filed in 2024-2025, though most were either closed without violation or marked as inspector unable to gain access. Additional concerns have been documented, including a bathroom ventilation issue, an apartment pest infestation (reported in late 2024), and historical rodent activity noted during inspections, with the most recent rat activity reports from 2022. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug-free record since 2020 and has complied with several housing maintenance code requirements, though Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections are currently listed as active as of June 2025.
