Augrented Insights Report for 197 Wyckoff Avenue

197 Wyckoff Avenue is a four-story, 4-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by John Imperatore. The property has experienced significant recent issues with indoor air quality, particularly sewage odors, with multiple complaints filed between May 2024 and September 2024, some requiring health department advisories for correction.

The building has faced numerous maintenance challenges in 2024, including emergency plumbing issues, safety concerns related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and a variety of building system problems. Notable violations include an open pest infestation issue in Apartment 3R (August 2024), a defective self-closing door in Apartment 2L (November 2024), and multiple safety equipment concerns in Apartment 3R, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's history includes several illegal conversion complaints between 2021 and 2024, though inspections typically resulted in "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" or "No Violation Warranted" outcomes.

Recent rodent inspections show generally passing results, with the last inspection in March 2025 being satisfactory. The property has one active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding failure to submit required parking structure reports, with an associated penalty of $2,530. While the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022, 2023, and 2024), the frequency of recent maintenance issues and ongoing violations suggests potential challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
