Augrented Insights Report for 38 Hill Street

The three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building at 38 Hill Street in Cypress Hills, currently owned by Danny Abraham and built in 1926, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in January 2025, September 2024, and September 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent inspections in early 2025 have revealed emergency concerns including mold, door issues, roof access problems, and radiator concerns.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, particularly with water supply and toilet facilities, though some inspections were unable to gain access for thorough evaluation. Additional maintenance concerns include repeated unsanitary conditions regarding garbage and recycling storage documented throughout 2024-2025, with violations issued in September 2024 related to inadequate waste management practices. Apartment 12 has been the focus of several specific violations, including defective plaster surfaces, bathroom issues, and concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's exterior has faced scrutiny, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2024 regarding building wall maintenance and garbage accumulation, and a potentially active boiler violation from 2019-2020 regarding annual inspection reporting. Recent rodent control efforts have been ongoing, with multiple instances of rat activity and bait application recorded between September 2024 and April 2025, though bedbug reports show no infestations in the past five years. The property has a mixed record of response to these issues, with some complaints resulting in violations and required corrections, while others were closed without resolution confirmation. Recent health department inspections have confirmed rodent activity, and multiple emergency service requests have been filed and closed, suggesting ongoing maintenance and safety challenges in the building's operation and management.
