Augrented Insights Report for Fountain Avenue

The two-story, seven-unit residential building on Fountain Avenue in East New York, constructed in 2021 and owned by Yehuda Vaknin, has experienced several maintenance issues since its completion. Most notably, there are recurring problems with water leaks and paint/plaster conditions affecting both walls and ceilings, with multiple complaints filed in October 2023 that remain in progress as of 2025.

The building's history shows two significant construction safety compliance violations during its 2021 construction phase, related to inadequate job site fencing and failure to maintain/display required safety documents, which resulted in penalties totaling $1,625. There were also three instances of "work without permit" complaints in 2022-2024, though inspections did not warrant violations in the most recent case. The property has maintained good pest control records, with no reported bedbug infestations since its opening, as evidenced by three consecutive clean reports from 2021-2024 and a recent filing for the period ending October 2025 showing zero affected units.

While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in response to past complaints have generally resulted in no violations being issued. The most recent inspection in 2024 was unable to gain access to the unit in question. The building's permit history indicates proper channels were followed during construction, with multiple permits issued between June and December 2021 for new building and foundation work.
