Augrented Insights Report for 179 Graham Avenue

The 4-story, 6-unit old-law tenement building at 179 Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Alan Messner and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing consistent rat activity, including recent bait applications in February 2025.

The building has also grappled with various plumbing and sanitation concerns, particularly between 2019-2021, including multiple unaddressed complaints about mold (2019) and several plumbing-related issues (2019-2021) that inspectors were unable to access for verification. More recent violations include exposed electrical wiring in the 4th story public hall (2024), while the building remains under scrutiny for unauthorized modifications.

There are two open violations from 2022 regarding alterations in apartments 2R and 4R that require proper legalization or restoration to original conditions, and in 2022-2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding work without permits, though inspections did not warrant violations at that time. The building's maintenance history shows regular recurring issues with basic infrastructure, though there has been consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing zero infested units in the past four filing periods.
