Augrented Insights Report for 396 5th Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 396 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Eduardo Gallardo, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023, with two confirmed emergency complaints in February and March. The building currently has multiple open violations as of August 2023 related to safety signage requirements, including missing notifications for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. Between 2020-2023, there were several complaints and violations regarding building systems and safety protocols, including issues with gas piping, ventilation, and improper flex hoses in the ground-floor commercial space.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2022-2024, with no reported infestations. The building's recent history shows active maintenance concerns, particularly regarding heating systems and safety compliance. Of particular note is an ongoing Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 regarding maintenance issues in the ground-floor restaurant space, with a penalty of $1,250 recorded.

Rodent inspections indicate some activity in 2018-2019, with a passed inspection in 2022. While there have been multiple food establishment-related complaints recorded by DOHMH between 2020-2024, these were all administratively closed, suggesting they were addressed. The building's management has shown compliance with NYC's bedbug reporting requirements and recent inspections for rodent activity.
