Augrented Insights Report for 299 Etna Street

The two-family home at 299 Etna Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Mohammad Tutul, is a 2-story building constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several concerning safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding detection systems, with multiple complaints in 2022 about missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that HPD was unable to inspect.

The building has also faced persistent temperature control problems, with violations issued in 2020 for scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in both apartments, and multiple heating system complaints in 2022 that were eventually corrected. A series of inspection attempts between 2021-2023 were notably unsuccessful, with HPD and other agencies unable to gain access on multiple occasions to inspect reported issues. The property has a documented history of various maintenance and safety concerns, including mold issues (2021), electrical problems, and a broken window guard.

In 2019-2020, significant building and safety violations were recorded, including illegal restoration work following fire damage and improper storage of combustible materials, resulting in fines. The building underwent inspections for rodent control in 2012 and 2017, with one failure noted in 2012 that was subsequently corrected. Recent complaints in 2024 regarding illegal work and occupancy changes were also recorded, though final inspections were again marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The building's maintenance record shows some pattern of responsiveness to issues once they are documented, though access problems for inspections have been a recurring theme.
