Augrented Insights Report for 224 Manhattan Avenue

The 5-unit, 4-story residential building at 224 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Higinio Rodriguez, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in 2025. There were multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout early 2025, with tenants reporting both apartment-specific and building-wide issues between January and April, some of which required emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building is also facing serious maintenance violations, including active ECB violations for failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, and significant structural concerns with a bulging facade as of July 2024. The property has a documented history of compliance issues, including multiple ECB violations from 2021-2024 related to failure to file inspection reports and multiple instances of not correcting immediately hazardous violations.

In 2018, there were serious concerns about illegal transient use, with violations related to inadequate safety systems for such use and unauthorized occupancy. More recent violations (as of late 2023-2024) include failure to maintain proper fire safety systems and inadequate building signage in compliance with city regulations. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and code compliance, with an active pattern of violations and service requests primarily related to heating systems and general building maintenance issues.
