Augrented Insights Report for 691 Broadway

691 Broadway is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Johan Kappel and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 confirming rat activity, and previous inspections in June 2023 and 2021 also showing similar results.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety concerns between 2021-2025, including electrical wiring violations, pest infestations, and issues with doors and windows. Specifically, in 2021, multiple violations were recorded related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pests, as well as problems with heat and hot water systems. Three active ECB violations from 2021 remain related to exposed electrical wiring and equipment, with substantial penalties imposed.

More recent complaints in 2025 have been filed regarding site conditions and illegal after-hours work, with some inspections resulting in Oath Violations. While the building's management has attempted to address some issues, including several violations being certified as corrected, the persistence of rodent problems and electrical safety concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced scrutiny for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2022, though these violations were subsequently dismissed.
