Augrented Insights Report for 242 Broadway

242 Broadway is a 5-story, 24-unit commercial building constructed in 1910 located in Williamsburg, currently owned by 240 Broadway Property LLC. The property has experienced multiple safety and maintenance issues since 2019, with particular problems related to cooking gas and appliance maintenance. Between August and October 2019, there were several complaints about cooking gas issues and appliance problems, resulting in multiple HPD inspections and violations.

More concerning were building system deficiencies identified in late 2019, including problems with the sprinkler system, fire retardant materials in public areas, and gas supply issues to stoves. Recent concerns include active violations from 2024-2025 related to Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections. The building has also had issues with construction safety, as evidenced by several Department of Buildings (DOB) Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in 2023 regarding construction debris and unsafe torch operations, though these were typically resolved or dismissed upon inspection. Currently, there are open bedbug reporting violations from 2023-2024, and the building has had some compliance issues with energy efficiency reporting requirements, though most historical violations have been resolved or dismissed.

Recent inspections for rodent control in 2018 and 2025 passed, indicating no major pest issues. The property has undergone regular inspections and received various permits between 2019 and 2021 for construction and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing management of building systems and compliance with regulations. While there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, most have been addressed and resolved, with the exception of some recent violations that remain open as of 2025. The most recent complaints in 2025 were primarily related to excessive debris, though these were found to have no violations warranting inspection.
