Augrented Insights Report for 42 South Oxford Street

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 42 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, built in 1930 and currently owned by David Sputz, has experienced significant plumbing and sanitation issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, the building had multiple complaints regarding water-related problems, including heavy and slow leaks, sewage issues, and plumbing concerns, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring heating system problems in December 2018, when emergency complaints about heat and hot water were filed, and subsequent inspections uncovered several violations related to the boiler system, including unregistered equipment and cross-connected water systems, resulting in fines totaling $8,750. The property has faced notable pest control challenges, with documented rat activity in multiple inspections between 2020-2021, though recent bedbug filings from 2022-2025 indicate no infestations during these periods. While the building's bedbug reporting for the past three years shows zero infested or re-infested units, there was one bedbug violation issued in 2021 regarding the failure to file the annual report, and one rat-related complaint in 2021 that appears to have been resolved.

More recent building conditions have stabilized, with three consecutive annual bedbug reports showing no infestations, though the building's maintenance record remains marked by periodic plumbing and sanitation complaints. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, and the most recent rodent inspections (2021) showed proper bait application and management responses to rat activity. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including the need for plaster repairs and plumbing work as recently as 2023, the absence of current violations and recent bedbug-free status suggests some improvement in overall building conditions.
