Augrented Insights Report for 179 Milford Street

179 Milford Street is a 20-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in East New York and owned by Shea Sigal, dating back to 1930. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2025 alone, including a building-wide no heat/hot water situation reported in May 2025, which was temporarily resolved but required repeated complaints.

Significant maintenance concerns emerged in May 2025, with violations documented for plumbing (toilet), various paint/plaster issues (walls and ceilings), a refrigerator problem, and window frame issues, all of which the HPD inspected and issued violations for. A December 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2A, including water leaks, inadequate hot water supply, and various maintenance issues, while Apartment 3A exhibited problems with radiator function and window guards. The building's documentation shows persistent regulatory challenges, with multiple active violations related to failure to file annual boiler inspections between 2018-2023, and an active ECB violation from February 2024 regarding excessive debris posing fire and vermin risks.

Historical records show the building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with documented rat activity in 2022, while bedbug inspections between 2020-2022 reported no infestations. The property has experienced some security concerns, with a violation in December 2024 regarding defective fire exit door hinges, though this appears to be an administrative issue. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, while recent months have shown a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance responses.
