Augrented Insights Report for 198 Cornelia Street

198 Cornelia Street is a two-unit, two-story building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, that was built in 1905 and is currently owned by The Estate Of Jose Chalen. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around mold (with multiple violations documented in 2024 and 2022), plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers (January 2024), and various safety concerns including fire escape problems (2022) and carbon monoxide detector issues (2020).

The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations from 2023 and 2024 noting failure to file required annual reports. Despite these challenges, recent inspections (2023-2025) have shown passing results for rodent inspections, though rat activity was noted in 2022. The building has a documented history of complaints about illegal conversion attempts, with access denial recorded during inspections in 2020 and 2022.

A concerning pattern emerges from the data showing multiple mold-related violations, particularly in basement Apartment 1, where violations in 2022 and 2024 were documented regarding both hallway and bathroom conditions. Other maintenance issues have included problems with doors/windows (2022), water supply (2020), and a front yard gate (2020) with illegal fastenings. While some violations have been resolved promptly, including several plumbing issues in January 2024, many structural and safety concerns remain open or have been recategorized as more severe, such as the mold violation in March 2024 being upgraded to Class B status.
