Augrented Insights Report for 126 East 53rd Street

The 25-unit, 4-story tenement building at 126 East 53rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Gan East LLC, has experienced significant heating and maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with nine emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed, though most were subsequently closed after temporary resolution. More recently, in May 2025, there were two separate ceiling paint/plaster issues reported, including one case where HPD was unable to complete an inspection.

The building has a notable history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024 showing rat activity and bait applications, particularly in 2024 when six inspections were conducted. The building's condition has raised multiple safety concerns, particularly in late 2024. Apartment D4 experienced various issues requiring attention, including mold problems, water leaks, and non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building also has an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2019 external low-pressure inspection documentation. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, the ongoing maintenance issues and recent heating system problems suggest continued challenges with building upkeep. The property has a documented history of failed access attempts during inspections, including recent boiler complaints in early 2025, indicating potential difficulties with management's responsiveness to regulatory inspections.
