Augrented Insights Report for 202 Tapscott Street

202 Tapscott Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville and owned by Emmerson Joseph. Built in 1930, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns arising in March 2025, including problems with an electric/gas range, toilet, and heat/hot water systems. Notably, the heat and hot water issues were reported as resolved during inspection, though other complaints remained unresolved due to inspection failures.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues between 2021-2025, and safety concerns including a broken window guard reported in August 2023. In 2024, significant violations were documented regarding door safety and fire protection equipment in the basement and boiler room areas, though these were certified as corrected. The property has undergone regular bedbug inspections between 2022-2024, with zero infestations reported in the most recent filings.

Previous complaints have included plumbing issues, flooring concerns, and rodent activity, with an initial rodent inspection in 2022 showing rat activity. Two complaints regarding potential illegal conversions were filed in 2019 and 2020, though access was denied during inspections. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency repairs, with several instances of HPD being unable to complete inspections or interventions.
