Augrented Insights Report for 225 Avenue M

The five-story residential building at 225 Avenue M in Midwood, owned by Alberto Benamu, was constructed in 2007 and currently contains 5 units. The building has experienced recurring issues with filing bedbug reports, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, representing the fourth consecutive year of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple significant violations related to occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) following construction work, with penalties totaling over $15,000, though records indicate these violations were ultimately resolved. The Department of Buildings (DOB) issued several immediately hazardous violations regarding failure to certify corrections between 2019 and 2021, all of which were dismissed.

Notably, there was a rodent inspection failure in March 2012, and while the building appears to have maintained a zero reported count for infested, eradicated, and re-infested dwelling units in recent bedbug filings (2021-2022 and 2020-2021 periods), the ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggest some pattern of oversight regarding pest management compliance. The building's documented history shows a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, particularly regarding occupancy certifications and bedbug reporting requirements, though recent years have shown fewer major violations compared to the peak period between 2018-2021.
