Augrented Insights Report for 785 Howard Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 785 Howard Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Maria Fernandez, has a history of maintenance issues and compliance violations that warrant attention. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with the most recent occurring in September 2024, and several others dating back to 2018-2023 that remain unresolved.

In 2018, the building experienced a cluster of issues requiring Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention, including power outages, unsanitary conditions with confirmed pest infestations (mice and roaches), window frame problems, and electrical outlet concerns. While some of these complaints were resolved without violations, several resulted in documented HPD violations.

The building's maintenance record also shows an unresolved violation from 2019 regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone, though this was closed with no violation found at the time of inspection. The property has documented rodent inspections, with one passing inspection in August 2017. The pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding safety systems such as the boiler and electrical infrastructure.
