Augrented Insights Report for 493 12th Street

493 12th Street is a 16-unit, four-story old law tenement building located in South Slope, Brooklyn, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Jacob Bouganim. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, evidenced by emergency complaints in January 2025 and March 2024, though each incident was resolved according to HPD's records.

A cluster of December 2023 complaints highlighted multiple maintenance concerns, including plumbing issues with radiators, heavy water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster problems (for which violations were issued), and unsanitary conditions including mold. The building has several open violations from a March 2024 inspection, including issues with smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide device notices, and gas leak procedures, though some violations from this period have been marked as closed relating to door repair and hot water temperature problems.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with all recent filings (2020-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units. Historical records show a plumbing complaint from 2021 that was investigated but not substantiated, and a 2024 violation regarding failure to file an external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of September 2024. The building's owners have shown some responsiveness to violations, with HPD records indicating various issues were addressed and closed, though multiple open violations related to safety notices and building systems remain as of the most recent inspection.
