Augrented Insights Report for 972 Manhattan Avenue

The 24-unit, 5-story residential building at 972 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Alex Kaskel, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2024-2025. Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and water leaks, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in both cases. The building has a history of persistent water-related problems, evidenced by multiple water leak complaints in 2024 and 2023, including a "slow leak" in July 2024 that resulted in violations.

Additionally, there has been an ongoing rodent issue, with multiple inspections from 2023-2025 showing "Rat Activity" each time, and recent rodent-related complaints from December 2023 and October 2024. The building has also faced heating system issues, with an August 2023 hot water complaint that HPD could not inspect, similar to a 2022 heat/hot water problem. The property has several active housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 2C, including issues with water leaks, mold, and door functionality documented in September 2024.

Unit 24 on the 5th floor has multiple open violations from 2022 concerning mold, window issues, plaster surfaces, and hot water supply. The building's management has faced scrutiny regarding construction practices, with several complaints in 2022 about work being done without proper permits in an occupied building, and particularly concerning violations related to excessive debris blocking pedestrian pathways. Two significant ECB violations were issued in June 2022 regarding occupied building safety during construction, resulting in penalties of $12,500, though these were subsequently resolved. The bedbug reporting history indicates no infestations from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices in that regard.
