Augrented Insights Report for 15 Butler Place

15 Butler Place is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Brandon Wechsler. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three complaints in 2023 alone (November, October, and March) regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, all of which were ultimately resolved according to HPD records.

In addition to the heat issues, there have been various maintenance concerns including plumbing problems (water supply issues in February 2023), and paint/plaster issues (March 2023), though some inspections could not be completed due to access issues. The building has undergone several inspections related to rodent control, with all recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing successfully.

Historical records from 2019-2020 show some building maintenance violations, including water damage and structural concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 4A, which had multiple violations in 2020 related to pest infestation, water leaks, and safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) issues. The building's management successfully addressed these violations, as indicated by subsequent closed statuses. Most recently, the building has maintained good standing regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations or need for eradication measures in the past three years according to the most recent filings from 2023-2024.
