Augrented Insights Report for 178 Irving Avenue

The three-story, four-unit Old Law tenement building at 178 Irving Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Rafael Molina and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently two open housing maintenance code violations from 2023-2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, and a 2021 violation regarding obstructed fire escapes that also remains open. Between late 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold, as well as safety concerns about smoke detectors, though these recent HPD inspections did not result in violations being issued.

The building has faced various enforcement actions and compliance issues over the past several years. There were multiple Department of Buildings complaints showing inspectors' inability to gain access during routine inspections in 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2024, including inspections related to illegal gas hook-ups and adult establishment concerns. A concerning pattern of rodent activity was documented between 2021-2022, though recent inspections in 2023-2025 have all passed.

There were also previous violations in 2021 regarding encumbrances blocking egress from fire escapes and issues with self-closing doors in the common areas, though these were eventually resolved. The building has undergone several permitted work projects between 2023-2024, with multiple permits related to construction or maintenance work being issued, suggesting some ongoing efforts to address the building's maintenance needs. The building's recent history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention required for the open bedbug reporting violations and the pattern of difficulty in gaining access for inspections. While recent rodent inspections have shown improvement with all passing results, the building has experienced various safety and maintenance concerns that suggest the need for ongoing attention to building systems and regulations.
