Augrented Insights Report for 229 Lee Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story apartment building at 229 Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Herman Niederman, has a concerning record of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, which suggests ongoing challenges with pest management compliance.

There are also significant structural concerns, with an Environmental Control Board violation issued in December 2023 regarding building walls showing deterioration, concrete issues, and cracks that resulted in a $2,500 penalty. The building has active violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2018 and 2022, as well as an annual boiler inspection report from 2017.

The property has had documented rodent control efforts in 2010-2011, with multiple bait applications suggesting a previously serious pest issue, though there have been no recent pest violations on record. A December 2023 complaint regarding building shaking or vibration was investigated and resulted in an Oath violation being served. Given the frequency and variety of maintenance issues, particularly the bedbug report violations and structural problems, the building's recent history indicates ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance with basic housing codes.
