Augrented Insights Report for 245 Sullivan Place

The four-story, 40-unit residential building at 245 Sullivan Place in Crown Heights, built in 1924 and currently owned by Rick Lewis, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and water-related problems, with multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2024 and 2025, including slow water leaks and heat/hot water issues classified as emergencies.

The building has also faced significant maintenance violations, including a 2024 inspection revealing locked boiler room access and inadequate heating in apartment B1, along with pest infestation issues (specifically roaches and mice) documented in the same apartment during late 2024. The property has a history of structural and safety concerns, including a building shaking/vibrating complaint in October 2023 and multiple violations related to fire safety and electrical systems. Recent inspections have shown some progress, with 2025 rodent inspections passing, though a 2023-2024 period indicated rat activity.

The building underwent renovation work in 2018-2019, during which several violations were recorded including unapproved electrical work and safety violations related to construction supervision. While recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestations, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services. The property currently has an active DOB violation related to failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, and recent environmental control board violations from 2023 were resolved, though they involved issues with fire escape access and building façade conditions.
