Augrented Insights Report for 558 Lexington Avenue

558 Lexington Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Daniel Schwimmer and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD between November 2024 and January 2025 regarding building-wide outages. During this same period, there were also emergency complaints about electrical lighting problems in November 2024.

The property has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings investigations regarding unauthorized work, with several inspections between September and November 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access. Most notably, there are active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2023), as well as two significant environmental control board (ECB) violations from October 2024 concerning unauthorized concrete replacement and improperly installed air conditioning units, each carrying a $6,250 penalty. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 1R, including multiple violations from 2024 related to mold, bathroom fixtures, and various repair needs.

Notable past violations from 2018-2019 indicate previous occupancy-related issues requiring correction certificates, though these have since been resolved. While the building has maintained a record of pest control compliance with no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, rodent inspections show a pattern of rat activity between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing. The property also had multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations in 2024-2025, primarily relating to heat and water issues, and various building maintenance concerns were addressed through multiple HPD inspections and complaints during 2024.
