Augrented Insights Report for 508 Williams Avenue

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 508 Williams Avenue in East New York, owned by Meredith Marshall and built in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring plumbing and appliance-related problems, with multiple complaints about electric/gas ranges and sinks/basins between 2024-2025, though inspections typically found no violations. A cluster of violations in 2024-2025 indicated various maintenance issues, including defective doors, ceiling plaster problems, and a significant roach infestation in apartment 4D. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2020, though no violations were found upon inspection.

An active ECB violation from 2021 remains regarding boiler and flue-related issues, with a penalty of $3,125.00. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years. While there have been some rodent-related violations in the past (most notably in 2016 and 2015), recent inspections have generally shown compliance, with the last rodent inspection passing. Recent inspections in 2024 identified several maintenance issues, with open violations remaining for apartments 3B, 4A, and 4D, including plaster repairs, door issues, and a continuing roach infestation.

The building has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over the years, as evidenced by multiple closure notices for various complaints, though some persistent issues remain unaddressed. The property has experienced periodic heating system problems, particularly notable in spring 2020, but subsequent inspections found that violations had been corrected. Recent complaints from 2024-2025 primarily focus on plumbing and appliance issues, though inspections rarely found any violations to support the complaints. The absence of bedbug reports since 2019 and improved rodent inspection results suggest some progress in pest control efforts, though the building still experiences various maintenance challenges that require ongoing attention.
