Augrented Insights Report for 522 Lefferts Avenue

The 46-unit, 7-story residential building at 522 Lefferts Avenue, owned by Yosi Cohen and constructed in 2010, has undergone several significant maintenance challenges over the past few years, most notably concerning elevator reliability and safety systems. The building's elevator system has been a recurring issue, with multiple "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints filed between 2021 and 2023, resulting in Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in October 2023 related to maintenance logs and brake maintenance.

A particular concern was an open Class C violation as of June 2024 regarding an illegal electromagnetic locking assembly installation in the public hall on the first story. The building has experienced repeated door-related issues, with multiple emergency complaints between 2022 and 2024, though most were resolved without violations being issued. There was one instance of indoor air quality concern in March 2023 involving chemical vapors, and a smoke detector safety complaint in October 2023, which were also resolved without violations.

The elevator system has required particular attention, with several inspections showing Oath Violations served between 2021 and 2023, though some inspections found no violations warranted at the time. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, and passed its initial rodent inspection in March 2019. The most recent violations and complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems maintenance, particularly regarding elevator service and safety systems, though many issues have been addressed through inspection and resolution processes over time.
