Augrented Insights Report for 40 Grove Street

40 Grove Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building built in 1931, currently owned by Matthew Bristol, located in Bushwick. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particularly notable problems in 2023-2024. Most recently, in August 2024, multiple violations were issued regarding flooring repairs, mold, and pest infestations in Apartment 1L, along with various maintenance issues including problems with cabinets and ceilings.

Earlier in 2023, there were complaints about mold, plumbing issues, and heating problems, though inspections either found no violations or were unable to access the reported areas. The building has a concerning history of pest problems, with multiple complaints about roaches and mice infestations, particularly in Apartment 1L. There have been significant violations regarding unauthorized construction work, with an active ECB violation from January 2024 related to unpermitted work including new wood and metal framing, drop ceilings, and electrical work in Apartment 3R, resulting in a $12,500 penalty.

Previous complaints from 2018 noted electrical and boiler issues, though inspections typically found no violations at the time. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2025 and 2024), but there were multiple instances of rat activity reported in 2023 and 2024. The building has consistently filed zero bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports showing no affected units from 2021-2024.
