Augrented Insights Report for 686 Ashford Street

The 12-unit, 3-story residential building at 686 Ashford Street in East New York, owned by Bibi Germain, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of heat and hot water problems in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2023 and January 2024 regarding system failures affecting the entire building and specific units.

During this period, several violations were recorded, including one for exceeding the maximum hot water temperature of 130 degrees in Apartment 3, and another for inadequate heat supply in the same unit. More recently, in early 2025, a complaint regarding cooking gas issues was filed, though an inspection could not be completed. The building's maintenance history also shows some administrative violations, including an open violation from January 2024 regarding proper posting of inspection certificates near mailboxes, and a violation from April 2024 concerning the filing of annual bedbug reports.

While the building has had documented bedbug issues in the past, with two infested units recorded in 2019, recent bedbug reports from 2021, 2022, and 2024 show no infestation cases or eradication needs. The property has maintained a good record regarding rodent inspections, passing inspections in 2011 and 2012. The cluster of heating and hot water issues in late 2023 and early 2024, and the recent cooking gas complaint in early 2025, are the most significant recent concerns affecting resident comfort and safety.
