Augrented Insights Report for 938 Bushwick Avenue

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 938 Bushwick Avenue, owned by Howard Berner and constructed in 1901, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, from January 2025 through June 2025, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding mold (eight incidents), with inspections generally not finding violations, though some violations were noted in earlier months requiring corrections. The property has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat activity reports between 2023 and 2024, though an April 2025 inspection finally passed.

Affected Unit 7 has been particularly troubled, experiencing documented violations in early 2024 including mold, heat, and hot water problems, along with water leak issues that were officially closed in February 2024. The building has undergone various renovations and faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations between 2019 and 2021, primarily related to construction safety compliance, including problems with construction fences, gates, and scaffolding. There were also several instances of construction continuing despite stop work orders, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

Recent bedbug reporting from 2021-2024 shows consistent compliance with no infestations reported. While the building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions and pests, the pattern suggests varying degrees of compliance with corrections, though the frequency of mold-related complaints in 2025 indicates ongoing moisture management challenges. The most recent significant maintenance activity involves multiple 311 service requests regarding mold between February 2025 and June 2025, with varying inspection outcomes.
