Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 290 Ainslie Street in Williamsburg, owned by Allen Wan and constructed in 1930, has had several notable events over recent years, with a particularly focused pattern around bedbug reporting compliance. Most significantly, there is currently an open Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report required by HPD regulations, which is particularly concerning given its recency and potential implications for resident comfort and safety. This follows a pattern of similar violations in previous years, with closed violations recorded in 2023, 2022, and 2021, all citing the same issue of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

While the building's most recent bedbug report filed in April 2023 covered the period from November 2021 to October 2022 and indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units (showing a "0" count in all categories), the history of violations suggests an ongoing administrative issue with timely reporting rather than an active pest problem. The building has maintained its Class A designation since conversion, and no other types of violations or complaints are recorded in the available data. The pattern of bedbug report violations suggests this has been a recurring administrative oversight, though the absence of reported infestations in the most recent filing period is noteworthy.
