Augrented Insights Report for 660 Howard Avenue

The 31-unit, 4-story building at 660 Howard Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Hershy Beigel and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in January 2025, there were violations related to inadequate heat supply in apartment 3A, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025.

Apartment 4H cited violations in December 2024 for missing safety devices, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and mold issues in the bathroom. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024 regarding single device service and no alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations warranting action. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (particularly concerning sinks/basins), floor conditions, and various building safety violations.

Of particular note is an active violation from December 2023 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. However, the building appears to have maintained a relatively good record regarding pests, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, and rodent inspections from 2016-2018 showed improvement from initial failures to compliance passes. The property has experienced both emergency and non-emergency issues, with multiple instances requiring HPD inspections and resulting in violations that provide the owner time to address the conditions before potential housing court intervention becomes necessary.
