Augrented Insights Report for 249 Midwood Street

249 Midwood Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Howard Eiferman. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, including six separate heat/hot water complaints between November 2024 and early 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. In addition to the heating issues, there were significant maintenance concerns in late 2024, including reports of pest infestations in apartment 12A (both rodents and roaches), appliance problems, and multiple violations related to defective self-closing doors in apartments 3, 8, 12, and 16.

The building's emergency line of travel and fire escape maintenance also required attention, with violations documented in October 2024 related to flower pots obstructing egress from fire escapes on the 3rd-story balcony. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, though many have been resolved. A notable environmental control board violation from 2018 involved unauthorized construction work.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports filed in the past five years (2021-2025). Rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2021 generally passed, with only two failed initial inspections noted in 2012. Recent improvement actions include several permits issued in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and system upgrades. While the building has experienced recurring heating system challenges and various maintenance issues, recent months have shown fewer active violations compared to previous periods, particularly regarding bedbugs and rodents.
