Augrented Insights Report for 189 Grant Avenue

The two-family house at 189 Grant Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Rajendra Samwaru, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2018. The most recent significant incident was a heat and hot water complaint in November 2022, which resulted in an open Class C violation regarding insufficient hot water at all fixtures in first-story Apartment 1.

This complaint was part of a broader pattern of maintenance concerns at the property, including a November 2022 violation for a defective wood base cabinet in Apartment 1's kitchen, and a 2018 violation involving unsafe electrical wiring conditions in the first-story public hall. The building has also been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings complaints, including an illegal conversion complaint in November 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts in January 2023.

Other Building Department complaints from 2023 and 2022 regarding permits were inspected but found no violations. On a positive note, a rodent inspection in March 2012 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no pest issues at that time. While some of these violations have been addressed and closed, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water.
