Augrented Insights Report for 20 Menahan Street

20 Menahan Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Scott Mittel. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2024-2025 regarding heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. There have also been persistent concerns about plumbing issues, including water supply problems noted in both July 2024 and December 2024.

Safety concerns emerged in 2024-2025, with violations documented for missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartments 1R and 3L, as well as defects in fire escape access from both apartments. Recent inspections in 2025 indicate ongoing rodent activity in the building, with multiple inspections showing rat presence between 2023 and 2025. The building's maintenance history shows some positive aspects, including no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three years, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. However, there have been issues with building security, as evidenced by complaints regarding defective vestibule doors, and multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 about work without permits, though inspections were unable to gain access.

The property has also faced scrutiny for administrative matters, with multiple violations issued between 2023-2025 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's record from 2024-2025 reflects ongoing maintenance and safety challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, as well as security and safety systems. While some historical issues have been addressed, such as the correction of various paint/plaster problems and flooring concerns, the frequency and nature of the most recent complaints suggest continuing challenges with building systems and safety compliance. The property has experienced a pattern of inspection access issues, particularly during certain complaint investigations, which may indicate difficulties in addressing reported problems promptly.
