Augrented Insights Report for 83 Kingston Avenue

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 83 Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Larry Hirscfield, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been frequent heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in March 2025 regarding inadequate heat/hot water in the entire building. The building has also faced water supply and plumbing issues, including heavy water flow problems in March 2025 and multiple complaints that inspectors were unable to fully investigate due to access issues.

Inspectors encountered difficulties gaining access during several inspections, including for complaints about doors/windows, ceiling paint/plaster, and water leaks between March-April 2025. The property has been subject to multiple violations and service requests related to sanitary conditions, including garbage/recycling storage issues in April 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 indicate problems with roach infestations in apartments 3A and 3F, along with various maintenance issues such as broken tiles in public areas, ceiling damage, and safety equipment concerns (e.g., carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) in apartment 3A.

Recent inspections in 2024 revealed rat activity, though previous inspections for rat activity were passed. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no instances of infestation, and several violations from 2023-2024 have been closed, suggesting some responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The most concerning issues appear to be the recurring heating/water problems and access difficulties during inspections, which have hindered thorough assessments of reported complaints.
