Augrented Insights Report for 399 De Witt Avenue

The property at 399 De Witt Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Solomon Jacobowitz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns in early 2025 involving heating and electrical systems, including a heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 and a lighting issue reported around the same time.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance challenges, including multiple pest-related complaints in 2022 and 2020, and infrastructure problems such as a defective wooden tread in the public hall stairs and a broken glass lite at the entrance door noted in a 2024 inspection. The building's violation history shows attention to safety systems, with smoke detector issues identified and resolved in both apartments (1 and 2) between 2020 and 2024. Previous structural concerns have included water leak problems in 2021 and various repairs needed to address roof leakage, window frame issues, and plaster damage between 2020-2021.

The property has also attracted attention regarding potential illegal conversions, with complaints filed in 2019 and 2024, though inspectors were reportedly unable to gain access in both instances. While there were three pest-related complaints filed in August 2022 that HPD was unable to access for inspection, one pest complaint from June 2022 was inspected with no violations found. Interestingly, the building passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2012.
