Augrented Insights Report for 258 Melrose Street

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 258 Melrose Street in Bushwick, owned by Sam Rubin and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of plumbing and water-related problems, including multiple violations for slow water leaks and heating issues in late 2024, along with a water leak violation affecting all stories that was certified for repair in October 2024.

The building has also faced electrical and safety concerns, with violations for defective lighting and multiple cabinet-related issues documented between 2024-2025. Recent inspections revealed rat activity in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, indicating an ongoing pest control challenge despite several bait applications. The property has an outstanding compliance issue regarding external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued from 2018-2024 showing failure to file required documentation.

This includes missing reports for 2018 through 2023, suggesting potential concerns with the building's overall systems maintenance. Additional problems have been documented through 311 service requests, including heat/hot water issues, mold concerns, and various appliance-related complaints, most of which resulted in violations being issued upon inspection. However, it is worth noting that the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past five reporting periods, indicating good management of this particular pest.
