Augrented Insights Report for 720 St Marks Avenue

720 St. Marks Avenue is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building in Crown Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Michael Niamonitakis. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months.

Most notably, there has been a concerning pattern of unmet inspection access by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding window frame issues and water leaks, as well as multiple heat/hot water complaints in May 2025, some of which resulted in violations. The building has also faced significant pest management challenges, with multiple rodent control measures implemented in 2025 showing consistent rat activity, as evidenced by compliance inspections in April and July 2025. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2021 and 2025, though recent inspections have shown some resolution, including an active ECB violation as of September 2022 related to fire service and leveling issues, with penalties totaling $6,250.

Several apartments have experienced various maintenance issues, including mold (notably in apartments 3E and 5F), pest infestations, and repair needs for doors and plaster surfaces. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 indicate issues with walls, janitorial service, and an electrical power outage. While the building's management has addressed some violations, as evidenced by their "Closed" status in various inspection records, the persistent pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
