Augrented Insights Report for 403 Howard Avenue

403 Howard Avenue is a 7-story, 63-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, owned by Rafal Markwat and constructed in 2010. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted several inspections, some finding inadequate heat or hot water, and one instance where an inspector could not gain access to verify conditions.

The building has also faced electronic infrastructure challenges, including complaints about lighting, electrical systems, and various appliance issues, though some inspections found no violations. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," resulting in Environmental Control Board violations and monetary penalties. There have been several documented pest control issues as indicated by Bedbug Reporting records, with the most recent report from 2024 showing infestation in 5 units, though all were reportedly eradicated.

The building has undergone various maintenance inspections throughout 2024-2025, revealing issues such as mold, window frame problems, and emergency repairs needed for various systems. Notably, there was a significant elevator service disruption that generated multiple complaints between 2023-2025, and the property has multiple open violations, including one from February 2024 regarding failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report. While some violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, the frequency of heat/hot water issues and elevator service problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed mixed results, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons.
