Augrented Insights Report for 539 Van Nest Avenue

The 2-story, 6-unit building at 539 Van Nest Avenue, owned by Kevin Hakimian and constructed in 1920, has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations spanning several years. Most recently, in March 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding an uninspected refrigerator, electrical wiring issues, cabinet paint concerns, and pest problems, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these cases. The building currently has open violations from 2023 and 2024, including failure to file annual bedbug reports and issues with self-closing doors.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, with multiple emergency complaints between 2022 and 2024 regarding plumbing (including toilet and water supply issues), heat and hot water problems, and cooking gas concerns. The building's recent history shows persistent concerns with building systems, including unanswered complaints about heating systems in October 2023 and multiple low-pressure inspection violations between 2018 and 2023. Earlier violations from 2022-2023 indicate various maintenance needs in Apartment R5, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint, ceramic floor tiles, and door functionality.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with variable results between 2017 and 2022 showing periods of rat activity and other concerns, though the most recent inspection in December 2022 passed. Historical records from 2018 include a complaint about building shaking, and there was an attempted inspection regarding the certificate of occupancy in 2022, though access was not granted. While some violations have been resolved, there remains a pattern of recurring maintenance issues and open violations that suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and system maintenance.
