Augrented Insights Report for 208 South 1st Street

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 208 South 1st Street in Williamsburg, owned by Scott Jaffee, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025), with the most recent problems centered around heating systems. In December 2024, there were two emergency radiator complaints and a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building. The property also faced indoor air quality concerns in 2023-2024, with multiple incidents involving chemical vapors/gases/odors requiring owner advisories.

Summer 2023 saw an infestation issue in Apartment 2A, specifically involving roaches, which resulted in violations being issued. The building's maintenance history includes various plumbing and appliance-related complaints, with several sections being addressed through HPD inspections. Notably, multiple violations were documented in April 2023 regarding safety equipment and notifications, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.

The property underwent regular safety inspections in 2021-2023, all resulting in no violations. Historical records from 2018-2020 show some administrative violations related to exterior wall inspections and reporting requirements, which were resolved, and there have been periodic pest control treatments documented, particularly for rodent activity, though recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations (2023-2024). Multiple permits have been issued for various works on the property between 2019 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements being carried out.
