Augrented Insights Report for Empire Boulevard

The 27-unit, 8-story residential building at Empire Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Jacob Friedman, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints involving heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, plumbing problems (including toilets and shower/bathtub), water leaks, and an unsanitary condition related to pests. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with three separate emergency complaints between late 2024 and early 2025.

In late 2024, violations were issued concerning plumbing issues on multiple occasions, including problems with toilets, bathtubs/showers, and water leaks. The building's maintenance history shows several unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and mold, particularly in late 2024. Prior to these issues, the building's construction phase in 2020-2021 was marked by multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations against Coptum Builders LLC, including inadequate housekeeping, failure to provide proper safety measures, and problems with construction equipment and materials.

Several immediately hazardous violations were issued, though records indicate these were eventually dismissed or resolved. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug monitoring, with all filings from 2020 through 2025 reporting zero infested or re-infested units. Recent inspections suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the building's heating system and plumbing infrastructure, as evidenced by the multiple complaints and violations recorded throughout 2024-2025.
