Augrented Insights Report for 1690 Union Street

1690 Union Street is a 4-story, 31-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Built in 1921 and currently owned by Melania Cinque, this New Law Tenement property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout its recent history. The most recent incident occurred in April 2025, when a heat and hot water complaint resulted in HPD violations.

Between 2019 and 2025, there have been multiple documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with several requiring emergency responses. The building has also faced persistent water-related issues, particularly evident in Apartment 3B. The most recent inspection in October 2023 revealed multiple violations concerning water leaks at ceilings and windows, along with problems with plastered surfaces, resulting in a total penalty of $625.00 from the Environmental Control Board. Earlier violations from 2021 through 2023 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a concerning building shaking complaint in October 2023 that resulted in an Oath Violation.

The building’s elevator system has been documented as a recurring concern, with complaints filed in 2019 and 2021, though no violations were found upon inspection. Despite these issues, the property has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections from 2011 to 2025 passing. The building's bedbug history shows infestation cases in 2018-2019, but subsequent years have reported no infestations. Recent permitting activity (2018-2020) shows ongoing maintenance and repair work, with multiple emergency work permits issued during this period.
