Augrented Insights Report for 212 Freeman Street

212 Freeman Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1930 in Greenpoint, currently owned by R Lerch. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with notable clusters of complaints in 2019 and 2022, including building-wide outages and apartment-specific problems.

More recently, from late 2022 to mid-2023, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests. The building currently has several open violations from 2022-2023, including inadequate heat supply documented in apartment 1R, problems with access to the heating system, and maintenance issues in the common areas. In 2019, multiple Department of Buildings complaints were filed regarding egress issues, and there were concerning reports about unauthorized cellar occupancy and plumbing work, resulting in active Environmental Control Board violations totaling $2,500 in penalties.

The property management's compliance record shows scheduled bedbug reporting requirements being met from 2019 through 2024, with no documented infestations during these periods. While two rodent inspections conducted in 2013 and 2014 resulted in passing grades, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and water systems, as well as periodic pest control issues. An open DOB violation from September 2024 indicates failure to file the required 2023 external low pressure inspection report.
