Augrented Insights Report for 655 Van Siclen Avenue

655 Van Siclen Avenue, a two-story lodging home built in 1973 in East New York, is currently experiencing significant heating system issues. Between December 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with inspections confirming violations. The building had earlier violations of insufficient hot water in community bathrooms (2020) and Bathroom 106 (2024).

Other recent maintenance concerns include elevator service issues noted in multiple inspections throughout 2025, though no violations were found at inspection times. The property has a history of various maintenance inspections showing mixed results, including findings of excessive storage in mechanical rooms (2023), and previous violations related to sprinkler doors and hydraulic equipment (2018-2022). The building's maintenance history shows periodic rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing both passed inspections and reports of rat activity.

While the building experienced outbreaks of bedbugs in 2019-2020 (2 units), records from 2021 through 2024 indicate no reported infestations. The property has undergone semi-annual homeless shelter inspections focusing on electrical, plumbing, and construction systems, with some violations issued in 2023-2024. The building underwent several repairs and maintenance actions following inspection findings, such as addressing gas leaks in 2021 and hydraulic packing issues in 2020. Regular maintenance records indicate varying levels of compliance with housing maintenance codes, with the most recent issues primarily centered around the heating system and elevator service.
