Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

676 Sheffield Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Kevin Francis. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with the most recent report filed in June 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the reporting period of November 2023 to October 2024. This follows a similar pattern of cleanliness in previous reports dating back to 2020, all indicating effective pest management procedures within the building.

The building's inspection history reveals three consecutive bedbug report non-compliance violations from 2021 to 2023, all of which have since been closed, though this pattern appears somewhat unusual given the subsequent consistent compliance. Prior to the bedbug reporting period, the building underwent regular rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, both of which passed, suggesting the property has maintained general pest control standards. The property has shown improvement in its compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by the absence of recent violations in this category, with all bedbug-related violations now resolved.
