Augrented Insights Report for 553 46th Street

The four-story, 17-unit tenement building at 553 46th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Hussain Ismail, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly in recent times. Most notably, in December 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, which HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues.

Earlier in 2024, the building faced several interconnected issues including pest infestations (with violations issued), refrigerator problems, plumbing concerns, and complaints of mold (particularly affecting Apartment 1B). The building has also had periodic issues with indoor air quality, evidenced by two complaints in 2023 regarding chemical vapors/odors. Historical data indicates some concerning patterns, including structural concerns in 2018 with a leaning retaining wall at the rear of the building, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations.

The building has shown some difficulty maintaining basic systems, with documented heat/hot water issues in both 2018 and 2024. While recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show zero infested units, there was a pattern of infestations in 2019-2020 that required eradication efforts. The property's maintenance history also includes various Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly regarding door repairs, mold remediation, and pest control issues, most of which have been closed but indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
