Augrented Insights Report for 687 Bushwick Avenue

The three-story, four-unit building at 687 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Abe Green, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly affecting the fourth-floor apartment. Recent concerns include unsanitary conditions related to pests (June 2024) and water supply problems (January 2024), both of which HPD was unable to inspect despite complaints.

The building has documented history of water-related issues, with multiple leak complaints between 2020-2021, including heavy flow and slow leak problems, and the presence of mold in 2020 (though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection). Currently, there are open building violations from 2021 regarding roof leaks and plaster damage in the fourth-floor apartment's bathroom, as well as issues from 2024 involving unauthorized occupancy modifications to convert the building from a two-family to three-family configuration, with work reportedly done without permits in the basement area. Recent inspections have shown mixed results regarding pest control, with rat activity recorded in December 2024 and January 2025, though the most recent (June 2025) inspection passed.

The building's plumbing history includes multiple complaints, some classified as emergencies, and a significant oversight in 2019 when work was stopped due to a suspended master plumber's license, though this violation was later dismissed. The property has also undergone inspections for illegal hotel unit conversions and occupancy matters, with active violations recorded in 2024 regarding unauthorized recreational space modifications on the roof and balcony areas, as well as basement plumbing and electrical installations. While the building has seen periodic rodent activity, recent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, suggesting some improvement in pest management, though the presence of both pest and water supply issues as recent as 2024 remains concerning.
