Augrented Insights Report for Powell Street

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at Powell Street in Brownsville, owned by Zach Spira, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues since occupancy. The most recent plumbing complaint from February 2025 regarding a sink basin could not be inspected due to lack of access, following a pattern of similar access issues with multiple complaints between 2023-2024 including plumbing problems (toilets and bathtubs/showers), heating/hot water concerns, and intercom system failures. The building has also faced electrical problems in 2024, including both lighting issues and a power outage, though no violations were found during HPD inspections.

Two notable incidents of access denial in 2024 involved complaints about plumbing issues. During the building's construction phase, several safety and compliance violations were documented in April 2019, including inadequate housekeeping, absent construction supervision, and training violations, though these were resolved with no penalties imposed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2025, with no reported cases.

Two housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2023-2024 - one related to elevator maintenance and another concerning unauthorized storage on hallways. Despite the recurring maintenance issues, most recent violations have been promptly addressed, though the pattern of access denial to inspectors suggests ongoing communication challenges. The building's permit history shows proper documentation and issuance of all necessary construction permits during the 2018-2019 construction period.
