Augrented Insights Report for 279 Mother Gaston Blvd

The 4-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 279 Mother Gaston Blvd in Brownsville, owned by Yahja Raji, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over recent years.

Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November and December 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In December 2024, violations were issued regarding inadequate heat supply and an infestation of mice in apartment 1A, while apartment 1B/2B was found to have multiple issues including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problematic bathroom fixtures, and a lead paint hazard in June 2024, all of which remain open violations.

The building also experienced water-related problems in 2021, with complaints about heavy flow water leaks and resulting damage to unit 1A's ceiling and flooring, leading to an active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $3,125. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2019, and the building passed a rodent inspection in 2017, the most pressing current concerns appear to be the heating system reliability and ongoing maintenance issues in the lower floors, particularly affecting apartments 1A and 1B/2B.
