Augrented Insights Report for 20 Manhattan Avenue

20 Manhattan Avenue is a 24-unit, 4-story commercial-altered Class A building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Mor Halberstam. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past five years, particularly between 2020-2023, including three notable emergency situations in September 2020 involving a cooking gas complaint, an electric power outage, and heavy water leak, all prompting HPD inspections. Apartment 1E and 1H in particular experienced multiple violations in 2020-2021, with 1E facing serious issues including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, inadequate electrical service, gas supply problems, and door-related deficiencies.

In 2022, a boiler-related violation was recorded regarding an unregistered unit and safety issues, and in 2023, the building underwent significant construction work prompting three separate partial stop work orders related to contractor withdrawal. More recently, there have been various inspection activities, with the most recent Local Law 188 compliance inspection in June 2024 showing no violations. The building's record shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.

While rodent issues were reported in 2022 (with inspections occurring in 2013 showing rat activity), the most recent inspections in 2022 and 2023 have passed without violations. The building's recent history shows improved compliance with safety regulations, though the 2020-2021 period was marked by multiple maintenance and safety issues requiring inspection and correction. The most recent renovation permits from 2022-2023 suggest ongoing building improvements, though recent work stoppages in 2023 are notable.
