Augrented Insights Report for 213 Union Avenue

The 34-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 213 Union Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Alberto Dowal and constructed in 1923, has experienced notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recent heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024-2023, including a November 2024 emergency heat complaint and a July 2024 violation regarding inadequate hot water in apartment 3C, suggesting ongoing HVAC system challenges.

The building has also faced safety concerns, particularly in November 2024 with unresolved carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, though inspections were not completed. Historical data shows significant quality of life issues in 2022-2024, including pest problems, water leaks, and various maintenance concerns.

Recent building inspections revealed several code violations, most notably documented in September 2024 regarding self-closing doors in the public hall and blocked fire escape egress, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. An environmental control board violation from March 2023 noted deteriorated window conditions and missing window guards for AC units, while there is currently an active DOB violation related to the failure to file 2022 external low pressure inspection documents. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2021-2024, with no reported cases during this period, and passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022.
