Augrented Insights Report for 49 Tapscott Street

49 Tapscott Street is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Sam Klein. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints as of 2025 focusing on ceiling plaster/paint conditions, pest infestations, and door issues – notably in May 2025 when inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. The apartment has documented ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple 311 complaints regarding pests and multiple violations of the Housing Maintenance Code related to roach infestations and mouse problems, particularly in Apartments 1A and 2B.

The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2024 and 2025. Notable events include: in November 2024, violations were issued for pest infestations (mice in Apartment 1A), door issues, and water leaks in Apartment 2B; in September 2024, violations were documented for mold, water leak repairs, and various painting requirements in Apartment 2B. Structural concerns were raised in April 2024 regarding brick masonry, with violations related to damaged parapets and spalling brickwork, though these were later dismissed.

The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest management, with the most recent pest complaints in May 2025. The building has a relatively clean bedbug history over the past four reporting periods (2021-2024), with no reports of infestations in the last three annual cycles, though there was one documented case in 2020-2021. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2021, with varying results, including instances of rat activity in 2016 and 2021, though it passed some inspections as well. While the building has seen numerous housing code violations, many have been addressed and closed, though some more recent violations remain open or have had inspection access issues.
