Augrented Insights Report for 222 Van Siclen Avenue

The two-family residential building at 222 Van Siclen Avenue, owned by Ernest Toch, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues between 2013 and 2025. Most notably, in 2022, there was a cluster of plumbing and water-related problems, including violations related to a kitchen sink, multiple water leaks (heavy flow and slow leak), and heating issues, with corresponding emergency housing maintenance code complaints. The building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with initial rat activity reported in September 2022, though a subsequent compliance inspection in October 2022 passed.

Between 2020-2024, the property generated complaints regarding building stability, illegal conversions, and unpermitted modifications, including the installation of water/waste lines for a bathroom. Multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2021, particularly concerning building maintenance, with issues including exposed siding, water penetration, and paint conditions across various rooms and bathrooms. The building's external maintenance history shows a pattern of violations and penalties associated with building upkeep. Between 2021-2024, there were environmental control board violations related to building maintenance, including a current active violation from December 2024 regarding illegal off-street parking, with a $500 penalty.

Several notices of violation from 2020-2021 cited issues with building siding, water damage, and maintenance code compliance. While some violations were ultimately dismissed, others resulted in fines, though these penalties appear to have been resolved based on available data. The property has maintained some compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, with the most recent inspection showing no active rodent issues. The building, constructed in 1910 in East New York, is two stories tall and contains two residential units, with most documented issues affecting the first-story apartment.
