Augrented Insights Report for 420 Kent Avenue

The 605-unit, 22-story residential building at 420 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Eliot Spitzer, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since its 2016 construction. Most recently, in 2025, there was a smoking violation in a smoke-free area. The building has faced recurring problems with appliances, particularly refrigerators, and window frames, with multiple HPD visit attempts in late 2024 being unsuccessful.

Between 2024-2025, there were three significant water-related incidents, including heavy flow leaks in April 2024 and August 2024, with violations issued for water damage affecting an east wall/window area in apartment 1730. The building has a documented history of pest issues, with the most recent bedbug reports showing infestations in two units in 2024, though these were reportedly addressed. Prior to this, two units were treated in 2022, and one in 2021.

The property underwent significant construction scrutiny in 2019, facing multiple safety violations during its construction phase related to elevator inspection, worker training, and construction safety measures, resulting in penalties totaling $12,500. Throughout its history, the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections (passing in 2023 and 2022) and resolved various violations, including addressed water leaks and plaster/wall issues. Recent inspection attempts in 2024-2025 have sometimes been thwarted by access issues, suggesting potential communication challenges between tenants and building management.
