Augrented Insights Report for 298 North 8th Street

The 5-story, 15-unit building at 298 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by 296-298 North 8th Street LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since at least 2019. Recent complaints from 2025 show recurring issues with windows, cabinets, and flooring, though inspections found no housing law violations. The building has a significant number of rodent activity reports, with inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 confirming the presence of rats, despite previous baiting efforts in 2016.

Apartment 6 has been particularly problematic, with multiple open housing maintenance code violations as of late 2024, including issues with window guards, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, an infestation of roaches, and unauthorized acoustic panels in the kitchen. The building also has a history of electrical and plumbing violations from 2019, including improper electrical work and unsafe electrical equipment. Recent concerns about unsanitary conditions have been documented through multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025, particularly regarding garbage storage and pest issues.

The Department of Buildings has noted various violations, including an active ECB violation (as of 2023) for blocking a fire escape with an air conditioner, though many historical violations from 2019 were resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and safety features, though many recent complaints have been closed without finding housing law violations, indicating at least some responsiveness to tenant concerns. The bedbug reporting history shows minimal activity, with only one reported case in 2023, and no infestations reported in the most recent filing period.
