Augrented Insights Report for 87 East 53rd Street

The four-story, 24-unit building at 87 East 53rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Sam Rubin and constructed in 1930, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding flooring, door, ceiling, and water leak issues, with HPD inspections either being incomplete or resulting in no violations. Earlier in 2025, there were violations related to general maintenance, including heat/hot water issues and problems with cooking gas.

The building has an active rodent infestation problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity and the need for bait application. Between 2019-2024, significant concerns included multiple violations for failure to comply with inspection requirements, including active violations for not filing 2022 and 2023 external low-pressure inspections, and unresolved issues regarding a suspected illegal conversion in the cellar area. The building has also experienced recurring internal maintenance issues, as indicated by multiple violations in 2024 regarding broken windows, water leaks, and other repair needs in various apartments. The property has documented bedbug treatments in previous years, though recent filings from 2023 and 2024 show no current infestations.

Historical records from 2019-2020 show three separate incidents of bedbug infestations, all of which were reportedly eradicated. The building's owners have faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding failure to comply with commissioners' orders, with some violations remaining active as of 2020, including one with a penalty of $3,125. There is also a history of heating and hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations citing inadequate services. The property has undergone various inspections and received citations for maintenance code violations, including issues with door repairs, plumbing, and general maintenance concerns, though most of these violations have been closed after required corrections.
