Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

162 Scholes Street is a three-story, eight-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Skillman Plaza 3 LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly mold, as evidenced by three emergency complaints in 2024, 2023, and 2021, though no violations were issued following these HPD inspections. The building is currently facing several open violations from an August 2024 inspection, including issues with an electrical outlet cover in the first-story public hall and multiple problems in apartment 4L, specifically relating to a leaking roof and defective plastered surfaces in the kitchen. A significant maintenance history shows past concerns with basic services and infrastructure, including a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in August 2018, which was reportedly resolved during inspection, along with various plumbing and appliance issues that were inspected but did not result in violations.

Historically, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with the most recent annual report for 2023-2024 showing zero infested units, following similar clean reports in 2020-2021 and 2019-2020. The property underwent several repairs and maintenance work in 2023 addressing multiple code violations, including extensive painting work required for stairway walls on all stories, though these violations have since been closed. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the property management has generally addressed complaints through inspections, even if violations were not always issued. The most pressing current issues appear to be the unresolved violations from August 2024 regarding mold, water leaks, and an electrical outlet cover, which warrant attention given their potential impact on resident comfort and safety.
