Augrented Insights Report for 1400 Benson Street

1400 Benson Street is a 6-story, 61-unit residential building located in Westchester Square, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Michael Gontar. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, with the most recent concerns including ongoing smoking violations (as of June 2025) and multiple paint/plaster violations affecting walls, ceilings, and doors recorded in June 2025.

The building has demonstrated persistent plumbing-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints regarding various fixtures including bathtubs, sinks, and toilets between 2025-2024. The property has faced several significant regulatory challenges, including a currently active ECB violation from 2022 regarding the failure to submit the required Cycle 9A report of critical examination for exterior walls. Previous violations have included issues with water leaks, mold, and rodent infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 5I as of late 2024.

The building's safety systems have also been a focus, with complaints about fire escapes, smoke detectors, and elevator service noted between 2024-2025. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. While some violations have been resolved through proper certification and correction, including issues with building signs and various maintenance problems, the property continues to face compliance challenges, particularly regarding building maintenance requirements and safety systems.
