Augrented Insights Report for 296 Brook Avenue

The 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building at 296 Brook Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Martin Kirzner, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues from 2023 through 2025. Most significantly, there have been persistent heat and hot water problems, with multiple HPD complaints between 2024-2025 regarding inadequate service affecting the entire building and individual apartments.

The building has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about pests in 2024-2025, including recent service requests in April 2025. The property has a documented history of elevator service issues, with multiple complaints (2022-2025) regarding the single elevator system and no alternate service, and several environmental control board violations related to the elevator system, particularly concerning fire service requirements and inspection tags, though most of these have been resolved. Recent inspections and complaints from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance needs within the building, particularly in Apartment 1A, which has multiple open and closed violations including issues with mold, water leaks, and plaster/paint conditions.

While there have been recent pest control complaints, the building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs from 2019 through the current period. The building's most recent rodent inspection in August 2023 passed, though there was rat activity noted in a May 2023 inspection. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by multiple completed violations and permits, including a 2018 permit for alterations.
