Augrented Insights Report for 157 Starr Street

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 157 Starr Street in Bushwick, owned by Isaac Weiss and built in 1931, has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, most notably concerning heating and water systems. Between 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints in January-February 2024, all marked as emergencies but subsequently resolved.

A more recent water supply-related issue was reported in February 2025, though HPD was unable to complete its inspection. The building has also faced significant rodent control challenges, with consistent rat activity documented through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent June 2025 inspection passed. In December 2024, a violation was issued regarding improper mounting of burner access plates on nine water heaters, though this was recorded as resolved with no penalties.

Historical records from 2015 show violations related to missing stair risers in public hallways and encumbrances of household items in public areas, but these were certified as corrected by 2022. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports of affected units since 2020. While some maintenance issues have persisted, the property appears to have addressed many violations through proper channels, though recent heat/water supply problems remain a concern.
