Augrented Insights Report for 291 Wyckoff Avenue

291 Wyckoff Avenue is a three-story, six-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Jacob Sacks. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly notable in late 2024 when multiple apartments (1L, 2L, 2R) reported lack of running hot and cold water, along with some units experiencing no heat. These problems persisted through January 2025, with at least four HPD complaints regarding heating issues.

The property has also faced ongoing pest management challenges, with documented pest violations in January 2025 and a history of bedbug infestations affecting multiple units between 2021-2024. Recent inspections and complaints indicate persistent maintenance issues, including flooring problems, unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, and electrical concerns (outlets/switches). The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence from 2022 through 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown bait application.

Significant building code concerns have been noted regarding egress and safety, including an active illegal conversion complaint from May 2024 and previous violations related to blocked exits. The property has three active Department of Buildings violations (as of 2023) for failure to complete required external low-pressure inspections from 2018, 2020, and 2022. While some violations have been resolved, including those related to water issues and egress concerns, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building systems.
