Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The eight-unit, two-story building at 14 Linden Street in Bushwick, owned by Violet Russell, has a documented history of both pest management issues and rodent concerns over the past several years. Since 2021, there has been an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive violations recorded from 2021 through 2024, all of which remain open as of the current date. These violations pertain to the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

The building has experienced fluctuating rodent control success rates over the years, with the most recent inspections showing improved compliance. A rat activity inspection in May 2024 was followed by two consecutive passed inspections in 2025 (April) and 2024 (June), indicating some progress in pest management. Historical records show significant rodent issues in the early 2010s, with documented rat activity in both June and August 2012, though these were subsequently addressed through compliance inspections. More recent inspections have generally shown improvement, with initial inspections in 2020 and 2024 showing various outcomes, including one instance of rat activity in May 2024, followed by successful compliance inspections.
