Augrented Insights Report for 39 Plaza St West

39 Plaza Street West is a 14-story, 40-unit residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Alan Ginsberg. The building has recently experienced several concerning issues, particularly in early 2025, with multiple emergency-level complaints related to heat and hot water (January), water supply (January), and fire escape safety (January). During 2025, there has also been an ongoing concern with the building's drinking water tank, noted as having unsanitary conditions (March 2025).

The property has maintained a consistently good record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings (2019-2025) showing zero infested units. The building's infrastructure and compliance history shows a mix of issues and resolutions. There were multiple Department of Buildings violations related to energy reporting requirements between 2016 and 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed.

In terms of rodent control, the building's documented history shows some rat activity in 2018, 2020, and 2021, though subsequent inspections indicated compliance. The property underwent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in late 2023 and early 2024, with no violations found at the time of inspection. Asbestos-related complaints were reported in December 2023, though no violations were issued and the management received an advisory. The building's recent history shows all bedbug and rodent-related complaints being resolved, with no active violations recorded for these issues as of now.
