Augrented Insights Report for 61 Montrose Avenue

The 5-story, 10-unit apartment building at 61 Montrose Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Cheskel Schwimmer and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a serious gas leak incident in March 2024 that required FDNY intervention and resulted in a $6,250 Environmental Control Board violation. The building has a notable history of hot water-related violations in 2022, particularly affecting apartments 2B and 2C, where residents reported inadequate hot water supply and temperature issues.

Multiple violations occurred in 2022 regarding the building's sprinkler system, including inadequate water supply and missing components. There is also a pattern of access issues for inspectors, as evidenced by multiple "Unable To Gain Access" dispositions for various complaints between 2021-2023, including concerns about egress and construction-related problems. The building underwent construction work between 2019-2020, which generated several violations related to construction safety and code compliance, though most of these violations were ultimately resolved or dismissed.

Notably, there were multiple violations regarding building safety during construction, including issues with pedestrian protection, construction supervision, and permit compliance. Since then, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four filing periods from 2021 through 2024, and it passed a rodent inspection in March 2021. While many of the past violations have been addressed, the building's history of gas safety issues and access problems during inspections suggests ongoing management challenges.
