Augrented Insights Report for 494 Hendrix Street

494 Hendrix Street is a 2-family residence located in East New York, Brooklyn, owned by Zev Mayer and constructed in 1901. The 2-story building has experienced numerous maintenance and code compliance issues, with the most recent concerns centered around unsanitary conditions and pest problems, as evidenced by HPD complaints in March 2025. The property has a significant history of moisture-related problems, with multiple complaints about mold (most recently in October 2024) and water issues, including a heat/hot water complaint in April 2022 that resulted in HPD being denied access for inspection.

A cluster of violations was recorded in October 2021, including issues with paint/plaster, plumbing (basin/sink), sanitary conditions, and electrical problems including a power outage. Of particular concern is the building's conversion status, with multiple illegal conversion complaints filed between 2018-2024, most notably in 2024 when violations were issued regarding unauthorized occupancy and illegal plumbing fixtures in the basement. These violations included the illegal installation of a bathroom and kitchen with complete fixtures.

During 2024, citations were issued for the unauthorized use of rooms and improper plumbing connections, though these violations were subsequently marked as resolved. The building has also had various infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including a 2019 electrical outage, multiple pest infestations (though recent bedbug reports have shown no units affected), and several bathroom and kitchen maintenance issues requiring repairs and proper certification. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections (2012) and shows no current bedbug infestation, the historical pattern of maintenance violations, especially regarding moisture issues, pest problems, and unauthorized modifications, suggests ongoing challenges with building compliance and resident comfort. The property has received multiple HPD inspections over the years, with some access issues noted during inspections, and several violations were issued in various apartments, including bathroom and kitchen maintenance matters that required repairs and proper certification.
