Augrented Insights Report for 181 Palmetto Street

181 Palmetto Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yehuda Kohn. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns in 2023-2024 involving unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were found by HPD.

A significant cluster of problems was recorded in early 2021, primarily affecting apartment 1L, including issues with sewage, wall conditions, and pest infestations, which led to multiple violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building underwent several inspections in 2020-2021 for suspected illegal cellar conversions, with violations documented for unauthorized room creation and occupancy contrary to the building's Certificate of Occupancy.

More recently, rodent activity has been consistently recorded in inspections between 2016 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in March and May 2025 showing rat activity. However, the building has maintained a zero-count for bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2021 through 2024, indicating successful management of this particular issue. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, though many recent complaints have been resolved without violations being found.
