Augrented Insights Report for 148 Ross Street

The three-story, three-unit building at 148 Ross Street in Williamsburg, owned by Joseph Blumenfeld, has a documented history of maintenance and regulatory issues that warrant attention. Most concerning is the current violation status, with open citations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, suggesting ongoing pest management compliance issues.

The building has also faced significant mechanical and safety concerns, including an electrical wiring violation in 2021 involving exposed wires in the cellar, which was resolved in early 2022. Between 2019 and 2024, there were multiple violations related to unauthorized construction work in the basement, including installation of new drywall, fire stoppers, electrical wiring, and plumbing modifications without proper permits, though these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties. More recently, the building faces several active violations related to failure to maintain proper inspection records, including multiple outstanding violations for not filing external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, as well as a boiler inspection report from 2017.

These violations, while not immediately hazardous, indicate ongoing maintenance oversight issues. The property has had various inspection attempts, including a zoning compliance inspection in 2024 and a special operations compliance inspection in 2019, though in at least one case the inspector was unable to gain access. The building's age (built in 1900) and history of both pest and construction-related violations suggest that while some issues have been resolved, there remain several areas of regulatory non-compliance that affect the building's overall maintenance record.
