Augrented Insights Report for 553 Nostrand Avenue

553 Nostrand Avenue is a 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights and owned by Andrew Weber. The building, constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a cluster of heat and hot water complaints in late 2023 through early 2024.

Between December 2023 and January 2024, there were eight separate complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with some inspections being unable to gain access, though others confirmed restoration of services. The property has also faced persistent pest problems, with a notable pest-related complaint in late 2024 and a now-closed violation from December 2023 targeting rodent activity and roach infestation in apartment 3K. Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing building system concerns, including an open Class C violation from September 2024 regarding unauthorized electromagnetic locking devices at the building entrance.

In the latter part of 2024, violations were issued regarding boiler issues, including a defective hot water heater and improperly installed equipment, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation with a $312 penalty. While the building has experienced periodic rodent issues, with rat activity noted in July 2025 and previous failures in 2022 rodent inspections, it has generally passed regular rodent inspections since 2023. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by various HPD inspections, though there have been multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate reported issues.
