Augrented Insights Report for 273 Lee Avenue

The four-story, eight-unit building at 273 Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by David Landau, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations as of mid-2025 concerning unpermitted excavation and structural work in the cellar, with potential compromise to the building's stability and structural elements.

The property has also faced recurring heat and hot water system failures between late 2022 and 2023, documented power outages, and electrical issues affecting the entire building. As of 2024-2025, the building has active rodent issues, with inspection results showing rat activity, though this is an ongoing challenge that has been present since 2019. Recent 2023-2024 violations indicate serious concerns about the building's maintenance, including inadequate electrical service to public areas, compromised fire safety materials, and unsafe conditions related to water leaks and drainage.

The Department of Buildings has issued multiple active violations in 2024 related to structural concerns and safety hazards, including problems with the cellar walls, waterproofing, and debris accumulation that obstructs emergency equipment. While there are no recent reports of bedbug infestations, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure. The property has a documented pattern of unresolved violations and compliance issues, particularly relating to emergency work orders and building safety requirements.
