Augrented Insights Report for 178 Hooper Street

178 Hooper Street is a 35-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 located in Williamsburg, currently managed by 178-180 Hopper St LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025 resulting in violations.

These storage issues appear to be an ongoing challenge, with similar complaints recorded in 2024, and the building currently has open violations related to waste storage as of December 2024. The property has also faced significant challenges regarding safety and maintenance standards. Open violations from 2024 include problems with the ceiling and floor in the 5th floor hallway near apartment 28, debris accumulation in the boiler room, and encumbrances in public hall areas.

Two active ECB violations from July 2024 concern a metal structure deck built in the courtyard without proper permits and safety concerns regarding obstructed egress in the main lobby area. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2023-2025 indicating persistent issues with vermin control, most recently confirmed in June 2025. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (with no reported infestations since 2020), these other maintenance and sanitation issues suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep.
