Augrented Insights Report for 397 1st Street

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 397 First Street in Park Slope, owned by Semyon Levin and built in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of sewage-related problems in 2024-2025, with the most recent emergency calls requiring HPD intervention in February 2025.

The building has also faced persistent systems maintenance challenges, including multiple violations related to the intercom system, wiring issues, and ceiling maintenance, particularly affecting apartment 1L. The Department of Buildings records indicate several compliance attempts regarding illegal hotel conversions, illegal work, and safety concerns between 2020-2024, with violations remaining open as of 2024 for intercom, electrical, and door issues in apartment 1L, as well as various common area maintenance matters.

A 2023 DOBM violation regarding low-pressure inspection filing is also listed as active. The building's pest control history shows consistent filing of zero bedbug incidents since 2020, though there have been recent rodent activity concerns noted in early 2024. Housing Maintenance Code inspections in 2023 identified several maintenance issues requiring attention, including plaster repair, paint maintenance, handrail securing, and tile repair, primarily affecting common areas and apartment 1L.
