Augrented Insights Report for 488 5th Avenue

488 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building in South Slope, Brooklyn, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jakov Zarur. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

While there was one closed bedbug-related violation in 2021, the consistent pattern of these violations suggests ongoing administrative non-compliance. In 2023, the building was subject to multiple violations concerning unauthorized plumbing work. A complaint filed in April 2023 regarding illegal plumbing work resulted in an inspection in May 2023, which revealed unauthorized installation of a gas water heater in Apartment #3.

This installation was subsequently documented in two Environmental Control Board violations issued on May 24, 2023: one for improper gas line installation using a prohibited bushing, which was deemed non-compliant with fire code requirements and carried a penalty of $625, and a separate DOB violation ordering immediate correction of the non-compliant condition. While the ECB violations indicate a "resolved" status with no balance due, one DOB violation related to the gas water heater installation remains active as of the latest available data. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by a bedbug report filing for the period of November 2019 to October 2020 indicating no infested or eradicated units, though this record predates the more recent compliance issues.
