Augrented Insights Report for 520 Crown Street

The 34-unit, 4-story residential building at 520 Crown Street in Crown Heights, owned by Yaakov Blachman and constructed in 1921 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout the 2024-2025 winter season. Between December 2024 and February 2025, there were 8 emergency complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water in the entire building, with several incidents requiring HPD intervention. While most of these issues were resolved promptly, with inspectors confirming restoration of services upon contact with residents, the pattern suggests ongoing challenges with the building's heating system.

More recently, as of June 2025, there is an open non-emergency electric power outage complaint. The building's condition has been documented through various inspections and maintenance requests. In August 2024, multiple violations were issued regarding apartment B125, including issues with window counter balances, flooring defects, bathroom grout problems, and various repair needs in the kitchen and hallway.

The Department of Buildings has an active violation from December 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or eradications since 2019. Regular rodent inspections show consistent compliance, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing successfully. The building's maintenance history indicates general compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the recurring heating and hot water issues remain a significant concern for resident comfort and safety.
