Augrented Insights Report for 474 East 98th Street

474 East 98th Street is a 43-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building in Brownsville, owned by Michael Haas and constructed in 1928. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in 2023-2025, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, plumbing issues, and pest infestations. Most recently in May 2025, there were several uninspected complaints about floors, windows, and a water leak, while between January-April 2025, there were violations related to plumbing (basin/sink, bathtub/shower), ceiling issues, and a heat/hot water problem, with some violations being officially documented in April 2025 and requiring correction.

The building has a history of pest control issues, with documented rodent activity in 2023-2024 despite some compliance inspections passing, and previous roach infestations reported in apartments A6 and B5 (2023 and 2022 respectively). Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued and documented in 2023, primarily affecting apartment A6, including problems with water leaks, floor conditions, plumbing fixtures, ceiling surfaces, and pest infestations. The Department of Buildings records show two benchmarking reporting violations in 2022 and 2023, though these were dismissed upon confirmation of submission.

The building's maintenance history indicates periodic issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by a January 2025 complaint that was reportedly resolved during inspection. Notably, the building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show minimal infestations, with most years reporting zero affected units, though there was one incident in 2021 that was resolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspection and control measures, with varying results, particularly showing active rat presence during initial inspections in 2023-2024, though some baiting efforts continued in 2024.
