Augrented Insights Report for 2279 Strauss Street

2279 Strauss Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Weldon King. The property has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, with open violations from 2019 through 2024 that indicate persistent problems with bedbug reporting compliance (2019-2024), failure to maintain proper building entrance signage (2019), and issues with a double cylinder lock at the building entrance (2019). The building has experienced multiple health and safety concerns, particularly during 2021, including complaints about mold, pest infestations, water leaks, and unsanitary garbage storage, though some of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues.

A significant emergency complaint regarding loss of heat and hot water was recorded in 2019, though these services were reportedly restored before inspection. More recent concerns include an unsanitary condition complaint in September 2024 regarding garbage/recycling storage, which was inspected but found not to violate housing laws. The building has faced serious compliance challenges, with multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2019-2021 related to occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy, with penalties totaling $62,500 across various violations.

The Department of Buildings records show several illegal conversion complaints between 2021-2025, though inspections either did not warrant violations or access was denied. The property also has open violations regarding failure to comply with a Commissioner's order from 2018, related to occupancy issues. While some past health and safety complaints have been resolved, the persistent nature of bedbug reporting violations and multiple open ECB violations related to occupancy issues raise ongoing compliance concerns for the building.
