Augrented Insights Report for 638 Kosciuszko Street

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 638 Kosciuszko Street in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by 638 Adar LLC, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. The most significant current concerns involve ongoing plumbing problems, with multiple water supply complaints recorded in March 2024, including some classified as immediate emergencies. Additionally, there were serious safety concerns in September 2023 regarding non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced rodent infestation challenges, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024-2025 and confirmed rat activity during compliance inspections. The property has a history of violations and maintenance issues requiring attention. In 2022, there were two Class C violations related to unsafe electrical wiring in the first-story public hall and fire-rated material repairs required on the third-story west wall.

More recently, there are several active violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2024, as well as a complaint regarding potential illegal conversion filed in December 2024, though access was denied on the initial inspection attempt in February 2025. The building's management has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2020 through 2024, showing zero reported infested or re-infested units during these periods. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, such as the extermination of pest problems in August 2023, many current issues, particularly regarding plumbing and safety systems, require ongoing attention as evidenced by repeated service requests and complaints.
