Augrented Insights Report for 78 Lee Avenue

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 78 Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has recurring Open Class A Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, indicating potential challenges with pest management protocol compliance. In 2022, the building faced serious structural concerns when the Department of Buildings issued emergency work orders due to façade defects, documenting hazardous step cracks, deteriorated mortar joints, and compromised brickwork on the north, east, and south elevations across multiple exposures.

These issues resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations in May and June 2022, with penalties of $3,125 and $1,562 respectively, though records show these were resolved. The building's history also includes a Department of Buildings complaint regarding failure to maintain building standards in May 2022, and a construction-related complaint from November 2020 which did not warrant any violation upon inspection. A 311 service request related to food protection from March 2020 was closed after administrative resolution.

On a more positive note, the property successfully passed a rodent inspection in September 2016. Despite these various issues, it's important to note that not all violations are current, with the last documented building violation from 2022 having been resolved. The most recent inspection in 2024 still showed outstanding bedbug report compliance issues as of April 2024.
