Augrented Insights Report for 539 Union Avenue

539 Union Avenue is an 8-story, 125-unit Class A apartment building located in Mott Haven, constructed in 2013 and currently owned by Ron Luft. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns arising in mid-2025, when multiple simultaneous complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding plumbing (basin/sink and radiator issues), unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), ventilation system problems, and wall paint/plaster concerns. HPD attempted inspections in response to these complaints but was unable to complete the evaluations.

These same issues were previously reported in April 2025, when HPD did conduct inspections and issued violations regarding wall paint/plaster and unsanitary conditions, though some violations were later classified as having no housing law violations. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in the past year, with multiple open emergency complaints as of mid-2025 related to doors/windows and sanitation issues. Previous violations from early 2024 included problems with an intercom system, heating system access, and heating supply in specific apartments (notably in February 2024).

The building has also had documented bedbug incidents, with one reported infestation in the 2022-2023 filing period and none in 2023-2024, though the records show previous infestations in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. Rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with compliance inspections in early 2024 showing rat activity and multiple bait applications continuing through 2024. The property owner has addressed various violations in the past, including repairs to public areas and systems such as the ceiling in the 2nd-story public hall, though some recent complaints remain unresolved as of 2025.
