Augrented Insights Report for 687 Meeker Avenue

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 687 Meeker Avenue in Greenpoint, built in 1928 and owned by Anna Smagacz, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent issue, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in both April and June, following a violation in April 2025 that requires follow-up inspections according to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has also faced multiple housing maintenance code violations, including a significant period of non-compliance in 2021-2022 for the first-floor apartment (1R), where issues included rodent infestation, defective plastered surfaces, missing window guards, fire egress concerns, and problems with carbon monoxide detection devices. Infrastructure concerns have been documented, including plumbing issues (basin/sink), heating problems, and various maintenance requests spanning multiple years, such as water leaks in 2021 and interior surface deficiencies. The property has undergone several inspections regarding bedbugs, with reports from 2021, 2023, and 2025 showing no infested units, though the building was cited for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2023.

Additionally, there have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal advertising signs between 2019 and 2024, with various violations related to outdoor advertising company signs, all of which were resolved through Oath Violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of residents' concerns about basic services, with multiple complaints in 2023 regarding heat/hot water, plumbing issues, and painting/plaster problems, though inspections often revealed access issues during evaluations. While some violations and complaints have been addressed or closed, the recurrence of pest-related issues and periodic maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
