Augrented Insights Report for 249 Berry Street

249 Berry Street is a 4-story, 12-unit old law tenement building in Williamsburg, owned by Simon Katz and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent 311 service request in June 2025 reporting a rat sighting, though this particular investigation found no violations.

In 2024, the property faced multiple significant issues: four separate violations were documented in August related to plumbing (steam pipe/riser), window frames, unsanitary conditions including pests, and flooring. Notably, apartment 6 has multiple open violations from August 2024, including issues with bed bugs, flooring, walls, window components, and bathroom fixtures that remain unresolved as of October 2024. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with rodent control, with multiple inspections from 2019 through 2025 revealing rat activity, though a June 2025 inspection resulted in a passing grade.

In 2023, violations were issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for several years (2018-2023), which remain active as of 2024. Historical records from 2018 indicate serious safety concerns when the building was found to be operating with inadequate fire safety systems and unauthorized transient use, resulting in multiple violations totaling $5,375 in penalties, though these are now resolved. More recently, in 2024, there were various non-emergency maintenance issues addressed, including problems with paint/plaster, intercom systems, and door/window components, though many of these resulted in violations rather than immediate emergency repairs.
