Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

74 Woodruff Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in the Flatbush neighborhood, owned by Muhammad Ghany and built in 1905. The building has experienced several significant events over the past seven years, particularly related to heat and hot water services. In late 2018, there were two emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water, with the November incident requiring HPD intervention to resolve the issue, while access to inspect during the October complaint was not granted. More recently, the building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report for the 2022-2023 period showing no infested units (filing date: May 2024), and previous reports from 2021-2022 and 2019-2020 similarly documented no infestations. The building passed a rodent inspection in December 2018, and while there were four consecutive bedbug violation notices issued between 2021 and 2024, these appear to have been primarily administrative in nature related to filing requirements rather than indicating actual infestations in the building. All known violations and complaints have been closed, and recent bedbug reports indicate proactive management of pest control.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges, particularly pre-war construction without modern infrastructure.

Minor violation rate, landlord's portfolio
