Augrented Insights Report for 501 New York Avenue

The 84-unit, 6-story building at 501 New York Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Jason Arrindel, has experienced persistent pest-related issues in 2025, with multiple rodent complaints recorded between April and July 2025. These complaints have resulted in several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections noting rat and mouse activity, with inspections continuing into July 2025 showing rat activity.

The building is currently facing an open plumbing issue involving a sink or basin as of May 2025. During 2024-2025, there were multiple heat and hot water-related complaints, particularly affecting individual apartments, though some were resolved promptly. The building's maintenance history shows several significant violations, including a December 2024 Environmental Control Board violation regarding the boiler system with an active penalty of $625, and multiple housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025 addressing various issues including plumbing, unsanitary conditions, and apartment-specific maintenance needs, particularly in Unit 4A.

The building has maintained a comprehensive bedbug management record, showing no infestations reported in the last two years (2023-2024), following previous instances in 2020-2021 and 2019-2020. Elevator and boiler maintenance have been recurring themes in the building's history, with multiple inspection dates noting issues with elevator devices (2023-2024) and several boiler-related complaints between 2022-2024, though most inspections resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings. The building has demonstrated ongoing efforts to address rat activity, with regular bait application inspections throughout 2024-2025, though some inspections have continued to identify rat activity as recently as July 2025.
