Augrented Insights Report for 246 Jamaica Avenue

246 Jamaica Avenue is a 4-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, currently owned by Rafael Marte. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded in March 2023 and April 2022, as well as a water leak incident in September 2021 that was eventually resolved. Major infrastructure concerns were documented in 2018, including multiple electrical violations in the boiler room (exposed wires, missing junction box cover) and various building safety issues such as defective metal railings on exterior windows and concerns about smoke detectors and window guards in Apartment 14, all of which were subsequently corrected.

The property has maintained a regular schedule of inspections and compliance checks, with recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in June but passing inspections in July 2025. Significant work was done in 2019 to address multiple electrical and plumbing violations, which included improperly installed fixtures and unauthorized work, resulting in several Environmental Control Board fines totaling over $20,000. The building's management has been diligent in complying with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2025.

Recent semi-annual inspections during 2024-2025 for homeless shelter compliance (the building's current designation) found no violations related to plumbing or construction. The property has exhibited consistent maintenance of bedbug control measures, with all reports between 2019 and 2025 indicating zero infested units, and has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years. A permit for electrical work was issued in March 2020, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building's systems.
