Augrented Insights Report for 521 Essex Street

The two-family home at 521 Essex Street in East New York, owned by Rene Pena, is a two-story building constructed in 1901.

The property's documented history shows relatively minimal issues over the past decade, with the most significant incident occurring in early 2021 when there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting one of the apartments. The situation was reported to both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and through a Housing Maintenance Code complaint on January 29, 2021, though records indicate that the heat and hot water service was restored shortly thereafter, with the HPD noting that any ongoing issues should warrant a new complaint.

Prior to this, the building underwent a rodent inspection in May 2012, which it successfully passed. The property has had no documented complaints or inspections regarding heat or hot water systems in the past two years, and there have been no reported safety incidents or pattern of recurring problems, suggesting that the building's systems have remained stable since the 2021 incident.
