Augrented Insights Report for 249 Montrose Avenue

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 249 Montrose Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Herman Mauskopf, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints including issues with bathtubs/showers, sinks, and bathroom ventilation, some classified as emergencies and resulting in violations. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022-2023, with violations documented for defective cabinetry, flooring issues, and various maintenance needs in apartments 3R and 4L including problems with doors, ceilings, walls, and floors.

Two serious Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2024 regarding inadequate tenant protection measures and unsafe working conditions during construction, with a penalty of $6,250. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with significant violations remaining Open as of late 2023-2024. These include problems with stucco cement at the rear facade (2022), bathroom caulking (2022), and various maintenance needs in multiple apartments.

Earlier complaints indicate historical issues with rodent activity, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations between 2021 and 2024. The property has undergone various permitted work projects, including several construction and maintenance permits issued between 2019-2021, though there have been multiple complaints about work being performed without proper permits, particularly in 2020-2021. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2024 resulted in violation notices, and there was an outstanding violation regarding annual bedbug reporting as of March 2023.
