Augrented Insights Report for 238 Boerum Street

This three-story, eight-unit residential building located at 238 Boerum Street in Williamsburg, owned by David Grunfeld, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues from late 2021 through 2023, with the most recent concerns centering around water damage and mold. Notable recent incidents include a heavy water leak reported in September 2023 that was closed without inspection access, and two mold-related complaints in July 2023 that were inspected with no violations found.

The building experienced multiple heating and hot water-related complaints between late 2022 and early 2023, with several incidents where HPD was unable to gain apartment access for inspection, though one November 2022 complaint was resolved with tenant confirmation of restored services. Two important violations remain open from 2021: an excessive hot water temperature issue in Apartment 2 (over 130 degrees) and a failure to post required carbon monoxide and gas leak notice procedures, while a 2019 violation regarding an illegal scuttle cover fastening device was resolved.

The building's exterior safety was highlighted in 2021 when four terra-cotta coping stones fell from the front parapet roof onto the sidewalk, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that has not been paid according to records. Fortunately, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in this building over the past three reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, and a pest-related complaint from August 2022 resulted in no violations being issued.
