Augrented Insights Report for 148 Newel Street

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 148 Newel Street in Greenpoint, owned by Celina Doucette, has had several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recent rodent activity reports, with documented rat sightings in May 2024 leading to inspections that passed with only minor violations, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received multiple complaints about the same location.

The building has consistently maintained bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no recorded infestations in any of the four annual reports filed during this period. The property has experienced some structural and code compliance challenges, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded regarding unauthorized work in the cellar, including the creation of an unauthorized Class A apartment with bathrooms and kitchen facilities, blocked public hallways, and improper door hardware at the bulkhead.

These related violations resulted in fines totaling $5,000, though records indicate they were resolved. More recent issues include a 2024 violation for an improperly constructed fence exceeding the allowable height, for which a $500 fine was imposed and remains active as of August 2024. The building's recent rodent inspections, conducted in 2025, 2024, and 2023, have consistently passed, suggesting improvements in pest management despite the earlier complaints.
