Augrented Insights Report for 554 4th Avenue

The 11-story, 40-unit residential building at 554 4th Avenue in Gowanus, built in 2017 and owned by Fabio Scoditti, has experienced several notable maintenance issues throughout its history. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced challenges with access for Local Law 188 compliance inspections in August.

The property has a documented pattern of water-related issues, with multiple 311 complaints between 2020 and 2021 regarding slow leaks, and mold problems documented in September 2021 affecting multiple public hall locations (6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th floors). A concerning heat and hot water outage was reported in July 2020, though it was resolved within days. The building's construction period (2018-2020) was marked by several significant Department of Buildings violations, including work against stop work orders, failure to safeguard persons and property, and issues with tenant protection plans.

The elevator system underwent multiple inspections, revealing various maintenance needs including worn gibs and non-functioning door zone restrictors, with some violations resulting in penalties (though records show these were resolved). The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations in recent annual reports from 2021 to 2023, and has passed rodent inspections in 2017, 2019, and 2020. Multiple permits were issued during construction, covering various aspects of the building's development and subsequent maintenance.
