Augrented Insights Report for 197 Bedford Avenue

197 Bedford Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Andrew Lee, located in Williamsburg. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns involving heating systems. In January 2021, there were two heat and hot water emergencies - one affecting the entire building and another specific to one apartment - though in both cases the issues were reportedly resolved promptly.

More recently, in 2022 and early 2023, the building received multiple Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations are now listed as closed. The building has faced several rodent-related challenges, with inspections in March and May 2022 both revealing rat activity, following a previous rat sighting complaint in March 2022 that resulted in Department of Health violations. From an environmental safety perspective, there were significant concerns in July 2021 when construction-related citations were issued regarding unsupported scaffolding that was 40 feet high, lacking proper guardrails and debris netting, resulting in a full stop work order.

Violations were also recorded for operating without proper permits, though these issues have since been resolved. A 2021 violation regarding improper posting of boiler room notices was resolved without penalties. Looking at more recent conditions, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2022-2024 show no reported infestations or re-infestations across all units, and the most recent 311 service requests have not indicated any new problems.
