Augrented Insights Report for 331 Melrose Street

331 Melrose Street is a three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Shaye Falkowitz. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns being water leak and refrigerator problems reported in June 2024, both of which could not be inspected by HPD and remain unresolved as of September 2024. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, including an emergency complaint in March 2021 regarding loss of service to the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of services during the inspection.

Previous inspections revealed multiple infrastructure concerns, including mold in the cellar, violations regarding hot water temperature and plumbing issues in apartment 2R, and problems with fire egress and gas leak procedures in 2018, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspection activity, with recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 passing with no significant violations, though a rat activity report was documented in October 2023. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2023, consistently showing zero infested units.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in March 2024 but was closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access. The building currently has an open violation from June 2023 related to failure to file an external low pressure inspection, and there was previously recorded mold in the cellar and various issues with building systems such as heating and hot water supply. While many historical violations have been successfully addressed, the most pressing current issues appear to be the unresolved water and appliance problems reported in mid-2024.
