Augrented Insights Report for 189 7th Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 189 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Barry Lipsitz and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in late 2021, though these services were reportedly restored within two days. The building has consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2023, and 2024, though subsequent reports from 2025 show no infestations.

There have been multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding low pressure inspection filing requirements in 2023 that remain active, and a notable boiler-related violation from 2020 concerning access information that carries a penalty of $3,125. In more recent events, the building faced significant issues in 2023, including complaints about illegal occupancy and commercial use of the ground floor by "JM Wellness", which was operating as an unlicensed physical treatment establishment in violation of zoning regulations. This illegal use was served with an Oath Violation in May 2023.

A previous boiler-related complaint from 2020 resulted in violations being served. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, including a boiler problem in 2020 that was addressed at the time, the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate successful management of this particular concern. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2025, showing no recorded infestations during this period.
