Augrented Insights Report for 2608 Creston Avenue

The 54-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 2608 Creston Avenue, built in 1922 and currently owned by Michael Gontar, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. As of May 2025, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and an appliance issue with an electric/gas range. The building has faced recurring water and heat-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues and plumbing/water supply problems documented in June 2025.

The fourth floor (Apt 4E) has been particularly affected by various violations including water leakage, lead paint hazards, and pest infestation issues that were officially documented between September 2024 and December 2024. The property has a history of building systems challenges, evidenced by three active ECB violations from 2024, one concerning lobby ceramic tile floor damage and another regarding failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports. There have been multiple heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with several complaints requiring emergency responses.

The building has experienced recurring pest problems, with multiple reports of rodent activity documented through compliance inspections between 2018 and 2025. A complaint regarding building shaking/vibration was filed in March 2024, and there have been several elevator-related complaints in recent years, though inspections generally found no violations warranted. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2018, the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and systems that continue to require attention.
