Augrented Insights Report for 1654 Union Street

The 15-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1654 Union Street in Crown Heights, owned by C.Y. EMPIRE CORP and constructed in 1917, has experienced recurring heat and water system issues over the past several years, with multiple reports of inadequate heating or hot water affecting the entire building. Most notably, there were emergency heat/hot water complaints in June 2025 and December 2024, with inspectors often unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Recent maintenance records show a combination of unit-specific and building-wide issues, including a December 2024 violation regarding a defective fire escape drop ladder, and multiple violations in 2023 concerning apartment 10, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), water-proofing issues, and cabinet repairs needed. The building has undergone regular rodent control inspections, with work being performed between September 2024 and December 2024 showing varying degrees of rodent activity. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infested units from 2019 through the present.

While several complaints regarding heating systems, plumbing (including sink and shower issues), and building maintenance have been filed through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code channels, many of these complaints were closed either without violations being found or due to inability to gain apartment access for inspection. The building also has had compliance inspections regarding lead-based paint hazards in 2023 for apartments 11, 12, and 15, demonstrating attention to safety regulations. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 and 2023 found no violations regarding boiler operations and work permits, though there was a violation issued in 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which was subsequently dismissed.
