Augrented Insights Report for 689 Myrtle Avenue

At 689 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a five-story, 45-unit commercial building constructed in 1947, several significant issues have emerged over recent years, particularly concerning building infrastructure and safety systems. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water system reliability, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2023, including violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 5E documented in late 2021. The building has also faced safety concerns including broken window guards (reported June 2024), and ongoing issues with construction lead dust affecting both common areas and apartments (active complaints from 2022 and 2024). The property is currently under scrutiny for facade maintenance, with an active violation from 2022 regarding a portion of concrete facade at the fifth floor that was detached and fell onto the public sidewalk, carrying a penalty of $12,500.

There is also an active window guard violation from June 2024 where inspectors could not gain access to complete the necessary evaluation. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with basic services and building systems. In 2021, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building. Various violations were issued during this period, including problems with the building's heating system access and hot water supply.

Additionally, there were serious safety concerns in August 2021 involving illegal gas lines and water heater installations in Apartment 5I, though these were subsequently resolved. The elevator system has also had problems, with an Oath violation issued in October 2021. More recently, in 2024, there have been ongoing rodent control measures implemented, though inspections have passed. The building's permit history shows relatively consistent maintenance activity, with several emergency work permits issued between 2019 and 2021 to address various building issues.
