Augrented Insights Report for 198 Scholes Street

198 Scholes Street is a three-story, seven-unit New Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mordechai Katz. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with three documented emergencies in 2024 alone (January 12, January 22, and November 13), though in some cases, heat and hot water were restored by the time inspectors arrived. The property has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, specifically mold, with complaints in 2018 (no violations found) and 2024 (an emergency response).

A significant incident occurred in 2019 when illegal duplex modifications were discovered in apartment 1L, leading to multiple violations regarding unlawful use, unauthorized floor alterations, and improper plumbing fixtures; these violations were officially closed in February 2019. The building's safety systems were previously found deficient in August 2020, when violations were issued for non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2L, along with multiple violations regarding the heating system and building access. While rodent activity was reported in May 2022, follow-up inspections indicated compliance with health codes.

The building has maintained consistent records of bedbug control measures through annual reporting, with no infestations reported in the past seven years. Recent building maintenance records show prompt responses to heating system issues, though these problems appear to be persistent. Inspection records from 2024 show at least one violation regarding damaged plastered surfaces in apartment 1BR, while historical records show various code violations related to building safety systems, all of which were eventually resolved.
