Augrented Insights Report for 655 5th Avenue

The 4-story commercial building at 655 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Seth Coston and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The most pressing recent concern involves a smoking/vaping incident in a smoke-free area reported to the Health Department in June 2024, though no major violations are noted from this event.

The building has a concerning pattern of water-related issues, with three separate heavy flow water leak complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between January and April 2023, none resulting in violations but indicating potential persistent plumbing issues. The property has faced several significant structural and safety concerns documented between 2018 and 2024.

In early 2022, there were two complaints regarding unauthorized construction work, and an elevator issue was documented requiring Oath violations. Multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2021 and 2022, including one active violation from January 2022 related to failure to conduct or file final inspection of permitted work, and another regarding construction safety compliance with a penalty of $1250. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or required eradications in any unit.
