Augrented Insights Report for 789 St Marks Avenue

The 6-story, 133-unit building at 789 St Marks Avenue, owned by 789 St Marks Realty Corp, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints and inspections between March and April 2025, though these were generally resolved with system restorations. The building has also faced electrical system challenges, with emergency electrical complaints recorded in June 2025 regarding lighting, wiring, and outlets.

Elevator maintenance appears to be a significant concern, with multiple violations and complaints documented between 2024 and 2025, including issues with safety features, floor stops, and emergency systems, though many of these violations have been resolved with penalties paid. The property has maintained active rodent control measures, with recent inspections showing varying results between 2023 and 2025, including instances of rat activity noted in late 2024. Various repairs and maintenance issues have been documented, including problems with plumbing fixtures, garbage storage, and pest control.

The building's management has faced scrutiny over unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by multiple illegal conversion complaints and environmental control board violations related to a partition installation in apartment 5A. Safety equipment compliance has also been a concern, with past violations regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in certain units. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with management responding to most violations and complaints, though access issues during inspections have occurred on some occasions.
