Augrented Insights Report for 553 Quincy Street

553 Quincy Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Eleni Petaloti. The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particular clusters of problems occurring in 2021-2022 and more recent concerns in 2024-2025. Between November 2021 and January 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, plumbing issues, and heat/hot water problems, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to conduct necessary evaluations.

The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple rat activity reports between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in 2025 showing a passed result, following previous rat activity in 2024. More serious safety concerns have been persistent, particularly in 2021, when multiple violations were recorded regarding a blocked fire escape window and emergency exit obstructions, potentially jeopardizing resident safety. The building has active ECB violations from 2021 related to egress obstruction and failure to comply with commissioner orders, though at least one building class violation from 2021 regarding hazardous conditions was eventually dismissed.

The property has demonstrated some improvements, with a valid bedbug report filed in 2024 showing no current infestations, and recent inspections indicating compliance with rodent control measures as of July 2025. While many past violations have been closed, several remain open or active, particularly those related to safety equipment and building maintenance. Regular inspections and service requests suggest ongoing attention to maintenance issues, though access for inspections has historically been a challenge for enforcement agencies.
