Augrented Insights Report for 50 Lefferts Avenue

50 Lefferts Avenue is a 6-story, 93-unit residential building constructed in 1939 located in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood and currently owned by Brandon Wechsler. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating and hot water systems, with eight separate incidents reported between December 2023 and February 2025, including a February 2025 HPD inspection that resulted in violations. A current open violation from December 2024 involves excessively hot water (over 130°F) in apartment 6C.

The building has a history of pest issues, with the most recent complaint about pests filed in February 2025 and violations issued in connection with it. Previous years show recurring problems with building systems and maintenance, including multiple elevator-related violations in 2019, concerns about fire escape safety, and historical bedbug infestations in 2021-2022. There is an active open complaint filed in July 2024 regarding potential illegal conversion of space. The building has also been cited for failures to properly maintain safety systems, including a 2022 violation for inadequate tenant protection during work and a 2020 violation for missing door lock monitoring system in the elevator controller.

While the building has addressed some maintenance issues over time, as evidenced by the resolution of many past violations, there remains ongoing concern about basic service consistency, particularly regarding heat and hot water. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate successful eradication of infestations during those periods, with zero reported cases in recent filings. The property has had some enforcement interactions with city agencies, including three inspections in 2022 related to tenant safety that resulted in violations, and multiple permit applications for elevator work and other maintenance issues. The building's records are marked by a pattern of reactive responses to maintenance problems, with many complaints being resolved quickly once addressed, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data.
