Augrented Insights Report for 289 South 1st Street

289 South 1st Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Stephen Kraus. The building has experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in March 2025, suggesting persistent maintenance concerns.

Between October and December 2024, there were also significant issues with pests, particularly roaches on the 4th floor, and problems with garbage/recycling storage. The elevator system has been a major area of concern, with multiple reports of service interruptions and violations dating back to at least 2022, including an active penalty of $1,250 for failure to install required door lock monitoring. The building has also faced various maintenance code violations, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and plumbing problems in multiple apartments during 2024.

While the building has shown some improvements, with several violations being certified as corrected, persistent elevator problems and recent heating system failures indicate ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with only one reported case in 2022, and passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2021, though there was some evidence of rat activity in July 2021. The Department of Buildings records show multiple active violations for elevator problems, including failure to perform required inspections and maintenance, suggesting these remain critical issues requiring attention.
