Augrented Insights Report for 215 Rochester Avenue

The 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 215 Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Max Beilush and constructed in 1917, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, particularly with utilities and building systems. From 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints regarding electrical systems (including power outages and lighting issues), water leaks, ceiling conditions, and a recent unsanitary condition related to pests that resulted in violations being issued.

Notably, the building has faced several heating and hot water problems throughout 2025, with complaints recorded for both apartment-specific and building-wide outages in January and February. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with basic services. In addition to the 2025 issues, there were three heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, and multiple electrical problems including power outages and lighting issues.

A cluster of violations was documented in January 2024 specifically in apartment 4B, involving required repairs to plaster surfaces, paintwork, and roof leaks, though most of these were certified as corrected by mid-2024. The elevator system has also experienced multiple incidents, with complaints in 2020 and 2021, resulting in one ECB violation regarding various elevator maintenance issues with a $310 penalty. However, audits and inspections show consistent passing results for rodent inspections, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years, indicating some areas of effective maintenance.
