Augrented Insights Report for 196 Montrose Avenue

The 10-unit, 5-story building at 196 Montrose Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Perl Weisz, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with particular emphasis on water-related issues. Between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including three emergency complaints about heavy flow leaks in 2023-2024 and one non-emergency slow leak complaint in April 2024.

The building also faced several concerning safety issues, including a smoke detector violation in November 2021, plumbing problems in early 2021, and an emergency heat/hot water complaint in December 2018. More recently, in 2023-2025, the building has had ongoing rodent-related issues, with multiple DOHMH complaints and inspections showing rat activity, including three confirmed instances in 2025 and conditions attracting rodents noted in April and May 2025.

The property currently has an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though previous bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infested units, suggesting effective management of that particular concern. The building's history of water-related complaints and recent rodent activity are particularly notable, with multiple instances of both issues persisting over time, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
