Augrented Insights Report for 285 Schenectady Avenue

The 38-unit, 4-story building at 285 Schenectady Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Bulover Guartan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heat and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February 3 and February 22, all classified as emergencies and subsequently closed.

The building also faced some structural and safety concerns, including a window frame issue reported in February 2025 and three maintenance issues reported in June 2025 involving heavy water leaks, wall plastering, and ventilation systems. The building's history shows recurring elevator problems, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service between 2019 and 2024, though inspections typically found no violations warranting penalties.

There have been several housing maintenance code violations, including an active C-class violation from April 2024 regarding a locked heating system access door, and previous issues in apartment 1G concerning pest infestations (roaches and mice) documented in March 2024. While past energy efficiency violations related to benchmarking and display requirements were recorded in 2020-2022, these were ultimately dismissed. It's worth noting that the building has maintained good records in terms of rodent inspections, consistently passing inspections since at least 2014, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years of monitoring.
