Augrented Insights Report for 650 Empire Boulevard

The 42-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 650 Empire Boulevard in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Alex Wagman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, particularly with heating systems. Between February and April 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with several instances where HPD either could not gain access to units for inspection or found that systems had been restored when inspectors arrived.

The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges in 2025, including plumbing issues (radiators), window frame problems, and a heavy water leak, though some of these inspections were also unable to be completed. The building's structural integrity has come under scrutiny, with Department of Buildings complaints in September 2023 regarding building shaking and structural monitoring, and an Environmental Control Board violation citing large cracks in Apartment 1C and uneven floors.

Current open violations from late 2024 specifically relate to water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and issues with carbon monoxide detectors in Apartments 1A and 2C. While there have been some historical bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2021, records from 2022 to the present show no reported infestations. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of closed and open violations, with particular attention needed to address the recurring heat and hot water issues that continue to affect residents as of 2025.
