Augrented Insights Report for 119 Kent Avenue

Located at 119 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, this four-story, five-unit old law tenement was built in 1910 and is currently owned by Forest Equities Inc. The building has experienced recurring issues with pests, as evidenced by recent complaints in February 2025 and previous reports in September 2018, though inspections in both cases found no violations.

The property has a documented history of problems requiring attention to safety systems, including a 2020 violation for a defective fire escape and broken fire retardant material in the meter room. Two apartments (2R and 3R) experienced fire damage in 2019, and there were multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2018, including roof leaks and defective plaster surfaces in apartment 4. The building's maintenance record shows several inspections related to rodent control (all passing), and the building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs according to the official reporting from 2021 to the present.

Department of Buildings records indicate some compliance inspections in 2024 were completed without violations, though there were previous violations for late inspection filings in 2019 and 2023 that were subsequently dismissed. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by permit issuance in 2018 and 2021, and a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in late 2024 found no violations warranting enforcement action. While the building has had its share of violations and maintenance issues, many have been actively addressed and resolved, with current records showing no pressing safety concerns.
