Augrented Insights Report for 259 Nicholas Avenue

The two-family residence at 259 Nicholas Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Julio Cuesta, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, particularly regarding health and safety.

Most notably, in May 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified violations related to an unsanitary animal situation involving a dog on the property, with follow-up inspections being scheduled. This followed a rodent inspection in June 2025 that resulted in a "failed" designation for "Other Reasons." The building, constructed in 1905, has a documented history of compliance issues, including a complaint in March 2020 regarding unauthorized work that triggered a watch list compliance investigation, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempts.

On a somewhat more positive note, the Department of Buildings did issue a permit in December 2019 for unspecified work (permit type EW), though no subsequent related complaints have been recorded. The combined pattern of health-related incidents and of complaints regarding both rodent issues and unauthorized work suggests that 259 Nicholas Avenue may have ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
