Augrented Insights Report for 566 39th Street

The property at 566 39th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jonathan Chen, is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1935. The building has experienced a series of maintenance challenges in recent years, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed in 2025 alone, including issues with water leaks, mold, plumbing problems, and heating/hot water systems. Between March and April 2025, violations were recorded for slow water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, and various plumbing issues affecting sinks, toilets, and ceilings.

The building has a concerning pattern of water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints and violations documented in both 2024 and 2025. Significant safety and maintenance concerns have been documented through the Department of Buildings, including active violations from January 2024 related to electrical wiring issues (with a penalty of $4,000) and boiler problems ($3,125 penalty). The building's boiler system has been a recurring issue, with multiple inspections noting defects and operational problems in 2023-2024.

Additionally, several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of late 2024, including unsafe electrical wiring in common areas, water leaks in Apartment 1R, and defective self-closing doors at building entrances. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, though a recent inspection in May 2025 reported compliance with rat activity regulations following a previous April 2025 inspection that noted rat activity. While recent inspections have resulted in some issues being resolved, the building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with basic systems and safety concerns that have required multiple inspections and violation notices to address.
