Augrented Insights Report for 298 Palmetto Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 298 Palmetto Street in Bushwick, currently owned by Eddie Chung, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues since at least 2021. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent infestation problem, with multiple inspections between 2021 and 2025 (including the most recent in May 2025) confirming rat activity. Recent complaints from 2024-2025 indicate significant maintenance concerns, including water leaks (December 2024), mold (December 2024), and unsanitary conditions involving pests (February 2025).

A cluster of violations was documented in April 2024, including issues with fire escape safety, plumbing (toilet problems), electrical wiring, and door/window functionality. These violations affected various building systems and components, including security systems, garbage/storage areas, and general safety features. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by the certification of several violations by June 2024, including repairs to the shower caulking, window balance, and various systems in apartment 3L.

However, new and recurring issues continue to emerge, such as a recent pest complaint in February 2025 where the HPD inspector was unable to gain access for inspection. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status through multiple annual reports since 2020, the persistent rodent activity and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges in building upkeep and resident comfort. The property's three-story design and age (built in 1931) are typical for this type of New York City tenement building, which has historically faced similar maintenance challenges.
