Augrented Insights Report for 121 Bennett Avenue

121 Bennett Avenue is a 6-story, 82-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Moshe Katzenstein. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints for the entire building logged in March 2025, January 2025, December 2023, and multiple incidents throughout 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with this critical building system. The property has also faced sanitation concerns, particularly regarding mold, with complaints filed in April 2024 and January 2024, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

Safety-related issues were documented in November 2023, with violations recorded for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 65B, as well as problems with self-closing doors noted in apartment 35B. The elevator system has been a recurring focus of concern, with active violations as of July 2024 for an inoperative alarm bell and expired brake maintenance tag, following a history of complaints between 2019-2024 regarding single device service and maintenance issues. Recent inspections and complaints show some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent 2024 filing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted during a 2018 inspection.

The building's owners have investigated and attempted to address various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018-2021 for various works. Compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 have been conducted, with records indicating variable compliance. While many complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the frequency and nature of heating system complaints, alongside safety system violations, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort that merit attention.
