Augrented Insights Report for 557 6th Avenue

557 6th Avenue in the South Slope is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 2001, currently owned by Jack Locicero. The building has experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations between 2018-2022, including two active ECB violations from 2020-2022 related to safety features and emergency systems, with one violation incurring a penalty of $3,125 for various safety deficiencies.

The building's maintenance history shows several plumbing, appliance, and heating complaints between 2020-2022, including a concerning cluster of issues in December 2020 involving heating/hot water and cooking gas, though most of these complaints were closed with no violations issued, except for one emergency heat/hot water complaint where heat and hot water were reported to have been restored during the inspection. More recently, the building has open violations related to annual bedbug report filings for 2021-2024 under Housing Maintenance Code requirements, which have not been certified as corrected.

The elevator system remains a significant concern, with active environmental control board violations as of 2022 regarding missing fire signs, inoperative emergency lighting, and other safety deficiencies that were served as Oath violations. The building's maintenance record also includes a sanitation complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage in January 2020, which was closed with no violations. Rodent inspections conducted in 2017-2018 show passing results except for one failed inspection in November 2017 for "Other Reasons," though no specific details are provided in the records.
