Augrented Insights Report for 238 5th Avenue

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 238 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Vincent Theurer, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has pending water leak issues, with a slow leak complaint filed in October 2023 that was closed due to inspection access issues in July 2024. There are also multiple Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections from 2023-2024 showing inspectors were unable to gain access (with one inspection in December 2024 still pending) and Tenant Safety Inspections from late 2023 that resulted in a Stop Work Order being fully rescinded.

The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in October 2018 when multiple problems were identified in Apartment 4L, including defects in electrical outlets, bathroom fixtures, ceiling light fixtures, and problems with the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Additional violations were noted during this period regarding floor tiles in Apartments 2R and 4L, with some violations still showing as open. More recent work in 2023-2024 appears to have generated multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction work, including failure to post the Safe Construction Bill of Rights and performing work without proper permits, resulting in fines of $1,250 each.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to present shows no infestations, with all records indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Rodent inspections show varying results, with a passed inspection in December 2017, rat activity noted in early 2014, and a compliance inspection in March 2014. The property's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance access and compliance inspections, though it appears to have maintained a relatively clean record for pest management in recent years.
