Augrented Insights Report for 588 7th Avenue

The two-family house at 588 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by James Fortini, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has had recurring water-related problems, with two heavy flow water leak complaints filed in October 2023 - one of which remains unresolved as of March 2024.

Previously, in March 2022, there was a heat and hot water complaint that could not be properly investigated due to access issues. The building has an extensive history of violations from 2018 that remain unresolved, including illegal living space and plumbing installations in the cellar, unlawful cooking facilities, a defective fire retardant ceiling, and a floating floor with water accumulation.

These violations have triggered multiple enforcement actions, including a $1,200 penalty for occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy. A 2020 complaint regarding illegal conversion of the property was also filed, though inspectors were denied access. While a rodent inspection conducted in January 2019 resulted in a passing score, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing concerns with building code compliance and resident amenities.
