Augrented Insights Report for 56 St Nicholas Avenue

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement at 56 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jeffrey Fox, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. During July 2024 alone, there were multiple reports of water leaks (both slow and heavy) and mold problems, with at least two complaints being categorized as emergency situations.

The building received several violations in July 2024, including issues with window frames and water damage that required proper repair under housing codes. Specifically, Apartment 1R has been the focal point of multiple violations, including problems with visible mold (both in the bathroom and elsewhere), defective plaster surfaces, and water-related issues. Additional concerns were documented in May 2024, when violations were issued regarding a self-closing door with defective hinges in Apartment 1R.

While the building has had consistent issues with rodent activity in recent years, with inspections showing rat activity in 2021-2022, there have been successful rodent control inspections most recently in March 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years (2019-2024). The property has also undergone various repairs and improvements, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations through proper certification, including those related to brick and mortar repairs on the building's exterior.
