Augrented Insights Report for 553 Hinsdale Street

The 41-unit, 4-story building at 553 Hinsdale Street in East New York, owned by Barry Hers, has exhibited numerous maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024-2025, with particular clusters of problems in spring 2025. Most concerning are multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including garbage/recycling storage issues and pest problems, with HPD issuing violations in May 2025 requiring correction. The building has experienced recurring rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple compliance inspections showing rat presence between September 2023 and February 2025, though recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) indicate no infestations.

Several building systems have required attention, with documented issues including electrical problems (outlets/switches), floor maintenance, door and window conditions, and plumbing concerns. December 2024 violations highlighted specific issues in Apartment D6, including heating problems, radiator concerns, and window maintenance needs. The property has faced significant regulatory scrutiny, with an active Environmental Control Board violation (from August 2024) regarding obstructed fire escape pathways, carrying a $6,250 penalty, as well as multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Various maintenance code complaints from 2025 have been categorized as both emergency and non-emergency issues, including mold concerns, water leaks, and electrical problems. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received orders to address various violations, though some inspections faced access issues. While the property has maintained a zero-tolerance policy for bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2021, the recurring pest issues (particularly rodents) suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and classification as a New Law Tenement may contribute to the observed maintenance needs, which the ownership is required to address within specified timeframes following violations and complaints.
