Augrented Insights Report for 59 Herbert Street

59 Herbert Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Greenpoint, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ari Koth. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a persistent water leak identified in October 2024 that required an HPD inspection, though it could not be completed (closed April 2025). In mid-2024, the building underwent significant scrutiny, resulting in multiple violations, particularly concerning Apartment 2R, which required corrections to safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door mechanisms, and various building systems.

These violations were primarily addressed by September 2024. The building's history shows recurring issues with plumbing and water systems, including multiple plumbing-related complaints and violations, particularly in late 2023 through mid-2024. Safety concerns have been notable, with emergency responses in 2024 regarding both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (July 2024) and a significant heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building (February 2024).

Multiple complaints about various conditions - including flooring, stairs, and interior maintenance issues - were filed between December 2023 and mid-2024, with most being resolved through HPD inspections. Earlier history of the building shows periods of pest control activity, particularly regarding rodent inspections in 2012 and 2014, with multiple bait applications recorded. The building had no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 showing zero infested units. Recent environmental control board violations (2024) noted issues with tenant protection plans and construction dust management, while various DOB violations remain under review as of 2025.
