Augrented Insights Report for 279 Lee Avenue

279 Lee Avenue, a 6-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 2004 in Williamsburg and owned by Larissa Aranda, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water incidents in 2024 and 2019, with both situations being resolved but indicating potential system reliability concerns. From 2021 to 2022, multiple pest-related complaints were reported, though inspections generally showed no violations.

Indoor air quality and ventilation system concerns were raised in 2021-2022, with at least one violation related to ventilation systems in early 2022. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of issues, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." Three active violations were noted between 2019-2021 regarding elevator maintenance and inspection requirements, including an active Category 5 inspection violation from 2019. Environmental compliance issues have also been documented, with active ECB violations from 2020 related to exterior wall examination requirements, and a 2021 violation regarding self-closing doors that is currently open.

The building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2019 to 2022, though rodent activity was noted in inspections from 2014 and 2021. The most recent significant violations include an open notice from April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, and a June 2023 violation related to self-closing doors on the 6th story. The building's history also shows periodic inspections and corrective actions regarding various maintenance issues, with many older violations having been resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections. The property has undergone regular rodent baiting and inspection in 2014, though more recent inspections showed only one instance of rat activity in 2021.
