Augrented Insights Report for 34 Plaza St East

34 Plaza Street East is a 12-story, 111-unit residential building constructed in 1956 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Neil Davidowitz. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns revolving around plumbing and façade conditions. In 2025, multiple plumbing complaints were filed, leading to stop work orders, though these were eventually rescinded in July 2025. The building is currently under scrutiny for façade maintenance issues, with active violations related to balcony safety, including cracked concrete slabs and defective railings.

A partial vacate order was issued in May 2023 for the south elevation balconies, and there are multiple active environmental control board violations from 2023-2024 regarding façade maintenance. The building has a history of various maintenance issues, including recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, as documented in 2019 and 2020. Multiple plumbing complaints, both emergency and non-emergency, have been recorded between 2019 and 2021, covering issues with sinks and bathtubs. Investigations in recent years have shown some rat activity, though recent inspections (2025) passed, indicating improvements in pest control.

The property has also faced issues with building safety systems, including violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 509 in 2021. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years (2018-2024). Recent inspections and violations suggest that while some basic maintenance issues are being addressed, there are significant ongoing concerns regarding the building's exterior maintenance and plumbing systems. The property has been active in addressing routine maintenance and compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances for various repairs and improvements from 2019 through 2022. The building's management has generally responded to inspection findings, though some violations, particularly those involving façade maintenance, remain active as of 2024-2025.
