Augrented Insights Report for 578 Van Siclen Avenue

578 Van Siclen Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building in East New York, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Charles Menz. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2020 and 2024, most recently in January 2024. These complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though in some cases inspectors could not gain access to verify the conditions.

The building also faced plumbing problems in early 2023, with two water supply-related complaints recorded in January and February, one of which was designated as an immediate emergency. In late 2022 and early 2023, several complaints were filed regarding building systems and infrastructure, including issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in November 2018 related to Apartment 2, including problems with heat and hot water supply, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various maintenance issues such as broken tiles, door repairs, and paint conditions.

More recently, in 2023, there were multiple violations issued regarding unauthorized basement modifications and plumbing issues, including the installation of an unpermitted shower and occupancy contrary to the certificate of occupancy. However, these violations appear to have been resolved with no penalties due. The building has maintained good records regarding pest control, with zero bedbug reports in recent years and consistently passing rodent inspections in 2011, 2019, and 2020.
