Augrented Insights Report for 17 Grant Avenue

17 Grant Avenue, a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement built in 1915 in Cypress Hills and currently owned by Moses Rabinovits, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of May 2024, there are multiple open violations affecting apartment 2L, including pest infestations (both mice and roaches), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues in the bathroom and kitchen. The building has a troubling history of pest problems, with documented rat activity in 2022-2023 and multiple rodent control measures implemented.

Recent 311 complaints from April 2024 resulted in violations for wall conditions and unsanitary conditions, though not all complaints resulted in violations (e.g., a door-related complaint). The property has faced several serious concerns regarding unauthorized modifications, particularly in 2020 when inspections revealed evidence of an illegal converted cellar space with bathroom and kitchen facilities, resulting in an active ECB violation with an associated penalty. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic services, including a heat/hot water complaint in November 2023 that required verification of corrections. During 2020-2024, there have been multiple inspection attempts that required multiple access attempts or resulted in no violations being found.

Despite these numerous complaints and violations, the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestations. The building's management history shows a pattern of response to maintenance issues, with varying degrees of follow-up and resolution. While some recent complaints have been addressed and closed, there remains a notable cluster of open violations as of May 2024 that impact unit 2L specifically. The property has also undergone various inspections and received multiple 311 complaints related to doors, windows, flooring, and interior conditions over the past several years, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
