Augrented Insights Report for 175 Hewes Street

175 Hewes Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, built in 1914 and currently owned by 175 Hewes LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with documented complaints in 2024, 2022, and 2020, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify conditions in the 2024 and 2022 complaints. Safety concerns have been noted, including a broken/missing window guard in February 2024 and a cooking gas issue in September 2022.

The building has multiple open violations requiring attention, including the need to scrape and repaint all balconies and the building's front fire escape. Significant 2021 violations involve improper conversion of 4 Class A apartments to commercial use, potential lead paint hazard notification failures, and maintenance issues with a free-standing radiator in the 4th-floor public hall. Recent inspections in September 2023 raised concerns about electrical wiring and plumbing, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. Earlier complaints from 2020-2021 addressed various maintenance issues, including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, and heating system components like steam pipes and radiators. While some past violations have been closed, notably regarding lead paint documentation and bedbug reporting, several significant issues remain unresolved, particularly concerning heat/hot water system reliability and balcony maintenance.
