Augrented Insights Report for 1255 Stratford Avenue

The 6-story, 70-unit building at 1255 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Thomas Steiner, was constructed in 1928 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2024 and 2025, most recently in June 2025. There are concerning safety issues documented in 2024-2025, including an active violation for a defective fire escape on the 2nd floor that requires immediate repair.

The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges, with multiple active violations from late 2024 related to apartment F12, including water supply issues, leaky faucets, and pest infestations. Recent inspections have shown persistent rodent activity, with multiple failed inspections between March and May 2025. The building has documented multiple emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues in 2025, including problems with heat/hot water, stairs, various plumbing issues, and interior maintenance needs such as paint/plaster work on walls and ceilings.

Inspections have revealed violations requiring attention, particularly regarding building security features like self-closing doors. The property has also faced some regulatory scrutiny, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 regarding unauthorized cellar modifications and possible occupancy issues, along with several open Department of Buildings violations from 2020-2025 related to structural concerns, including a potentially unstable retaining wall and elevator maintenance requirements. While the building was reported bedbug-free in its last two annual filings (2022-2024), the persistent nature of various maintenance and safety issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and unit maintenance.
