Augrented Insights Report for 440 Brooklyn Avenue

440 Brooklyn Avenue, a 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1928 and containing 45 units, is currently owned by David Fischer and managed by Carbrook Associates. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2023-2025, particularly in plumbing (sink and bathtub issues), heating (multiple heat and hot water complaints), and door maintenance. Recent Housing Maintenance Code Complaints from June 2025 indicate active plumbing and door issues requiring attention. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple emergency complaints between March 2025 and April 2024, including one in April 2024 involving dangerously hot water exceeding 130 degrees F in Apartment 2B.

The property has also faced challenges with door maintenance, as evidenced by violations issued in 2024 regarding self-closing doors and gaps in door clearance affecting safety and security. The building's infrastructure has been a focus of attention, particularly regarding elevator service and boiler maintenance. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2020-2022 related to elevator service and boiler access issues, with some resulting in Oath Violations. Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 highlighted concerns about elevator maintenance, including oil leaks and door mechanism issues.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest management, with bedbug reports consistently showing zero infested units since 2018. While there were rodent activity issues documented in 2014, inspections since then have generally shown compliance. The building has undergone several inspections and maintenance checks, with most violations being resolved, including various repairs required in Apartment 4F related to water leaks and ceiling conditions documented in 2024. Recent data indicates ongoing attention is needed for plumbing and door maintenance, as evidenced by the active complaints filed in June 2025.
