Augrented Insights Report for 291 Jefferson Street

291 Jefferson Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Pincus Schwimmer. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with three such complaints recorded between November 2024 and January 2025, despite some being resolved shortly after inspection.

The property has multiple violations from 2024 related to Unit 1L, including problems with water temperature, leaks, and various bathroom maintenance issues - though some violations were subsequently closed. There have been ongoing rat activity concerns, with multiple inspections between 2024-2025 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building's history includes several significant maintenance challenges, particularly evident in March 2024 when multiple violations were documented related to floor conditions, doors, windows, and ceiling issues.

A concerning incident occurred in 2018 regarding rear yard concrete conditions that was deemed potentially hazardous, though records indicate this violation was resolved. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations. While some complaints and violations have been successfully closed, there remains a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and rodent activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems.
