Augrented Insights Report for 398 Manhattan Avenue

398 Manhattan Avenue is a three-story, four-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by 398 Manhattan Avenue LLC. The building has an ongoing issue with failure to submit annual bedbug reports to the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2024 inspections.

There were also several significant complaints and violations between 2021-2022, including failed access for inspections in multiple cases, and violations related to excessive debris, work without permits, and illegal signage. The most recent health-related complaint from September 2023 involved rodent issues, subsequently closed in June 2024. The building has a history of rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2016 showing rat activity and bait application requirements.

Two ECB violations from 2018-2022 remain noteworthy: one involving unauthorized occupancy of commercial space and another concerning storm enclosure encroachments, though the latter's penalty has been resolved. The building's permit history includes an issued permit in 2020, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement work was authorized during that period. While some violations have been resolved, the persistent nature of bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
