Augrented Insights Report for 179 Starr Street

179 Starr Street, a 6-unit, 3-story tenement building in Bushwick built in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple complaints ranging from August 2024 through 2025, including observed rat activity in compliance inspections. The property has also experienced significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints including a water leak with damp spots in 2024, and emergency heat/hot water problems in both 2024 and 2022 affecting individual apartments.

Recent inspections indicated violations related to building maintenance, including broken fire retardant plaster at the first story public hall (July 2023) and a requirement to paint the west wall at the first story public hall. The building's legal compliance history shows previous concerns regarding unauthorized cellar occupancy and construction work, though these violations were eventually resolved. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of heating and water supply issues, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building between 2019 and 2022.

While recent bedbug filings from 2023-2024 show no current infestations, the building had documented bedbug problems in 2018-2019, though these were reportedly eradicated. The property management has generally responded to complaints, with several issues being resolved or closed after inspection, though there have been instances where inspectors could not gain access to verify reported problems. Additionally, there is an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, as noted in a June 2023 building violation.
