1055 Summit Avenue, a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and owned by Yoel Shaffer, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over its history, with particular concern for heating systems and water supply. The building has documented multiple heating and hot water complaints between 2019 and 2024, including two emergency complaints in late 2023 with water supply issues, though no violations were found upon inspection. More recently, as of September 2024, there are open violations in Apartment 1 regarding bathroom ceiling plaster and mold conditions, as well as kitchen ceiling repair issues, with previous violations in Apartment 2 related to extensive bathroom mold documented in January 2024.
The property has faced significant regulatory scrutiny in the past year, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations in August 2023, including unauthorized conversion of the building from 3 to 4 units in the cellar, installation of unauthorized full-height partition walls, and electrical work without proper permits. These violations carried substantial penalties totaling $3,125. Building safety concerns have been noted, with violations regarding window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors recorded in 2019, and more recent issues including a defective fire-rated door to the boiler room documented in September 2023.
Recent inspections have revealed consistent rodent control challenges, with multiple failures documented between 2023 and 2025, though no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past two years. While some violations from 2024 inspections have been closed, including various maintenance and safety issues, several remain active as of the latest available data. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive addressing of recurring issues, particularly regarding water systems, heating, and mold conditions.
