Augrented Insights Report for 170 Woodruff Avenue

170 Woodruff Avenue is a 4-story, 14-unit New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, built in 1915 and owned by Emanuel North. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing problems, mold, paint/plaster damage, and flooring concerns, particularly during March-April 2025 when HPD was unable to complete inspections for several of these complaints.

A series of violations were documented in Apartment 1C in mid-2024, including issues with kitchen floor tiles, rodent infestations, plumbing fixtures, and various surface damages, though some were subsequently certified for correction. The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with multiple rat activity detections in 2024-2025 and regular bait applications. Historical records show some significant events, including a construction violation in 2020 for failing to obey a stop work order, resulting in a $5,000 penalty.

The property maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019-2024, with no infestations reported in any unit. Recent water-related issues are noteworthy, with both slow and heavy water leaks reported in 2025, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly plumbing and pest control, despite some improvements in response to violations.
