Augrented Insights Report for 257 Bleecker Street

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 257 Bleecker Street in Bushwick, owned by Barbara Kovacich, has experienced recurring pest control and maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent problem, with multiple rat sightings documented between 2019 and as recently as 2024, despite some inspections showing compliance status as "Passed." The property has also faced challenges with cockroach infestations, with the most recent complaint in June 2023 being investigated but no violations issued.

In terms of building maintenance and code compliance, there are several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, indicating possible ongoing pest management issues. The property underwent several Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections in 2023 regarding illegal conversion allegations, with one case in April 2023 resulting in a vacate order that was later rescinded in 2025. ECB violations from September 2023 highlighted several maintenance concerns, including improper fire stopping, fence height violations, unauthorized storage in common areas, and an illegal cellar conversion creating unauthorized living spaces, though these were subsequently resolved.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have shown some rat activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing "Passed" status, suggesting improved conditions, at least temporarily. The building's history features a significant number of service requests and inspections related to unsanitary conditions, including recent complaints about mold in June 2023, though these did not result in violations. While some issues have been addressed through inspections and resolutions, the recurring nature of pest problems and maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building management and maintenance protocols.
