Augrented Insights Report for 276 South 5th Street

The three-story, six-unit building at 276 South 5th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Mosses Guttman and constructed in 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are serious ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 confirming rat presence and requiring repeated bait applications.

The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from June 2024, including issues with the cornice at the front of the building, the entrance door's metalwork, and rust on the fire escape across all stories. There are also active Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years, dating as far back as 2018-2023. The property has a documented pattern of maintenance access issues, with inspectors frequently unable to access apartments for inspections in response to service requests.

Recent complaints from 2025 indicate problems with door and window frames, while 2024 complaints highlighted concerns with garbage/recycling storage and missing signage. Earlier violations from 2022-2023 included problems with fire escape obstructions and various building elements needing repair or maintenance. While the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in its recent reports (2021-2024), the ongoing rodent issues and multiple open violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
