Augrented Insights Report for 179 East 54th Street

179 East 54th Street in East Flatbush is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement built in 1930, currently owned by Jean Bernagene. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints throughout 2023-2024, including four reports between December 2023 and February 2024 where HPD inspections either confirmed problems or documented that they couldn't gain access to verify conditions.

More recently, in August 2024, there were plumbing water supply issues that resulted in an immediate emergency response, though no violations were issued. The building is currently facing multiple open violations as of August 2024, including safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a leaking roof affecting the third-story public hall, and various maintenance issues with building security elements such as doors and fire safety systems. Notably, there are three active ECB violations from 2020 related to egress problems and obstruction of fire escape systems, along with open DOB violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019.

The building's environmental and safety compliance record shows concerning patterns, including four emergency complaints regarding doors/windows in mid-2024 and repeated issues with unsanitary conditions, including garbage/recycling storage problems. However, the building's pest management record shows no bedbug infestations reported between November 2020 and October 2021, and it passed a rodent inspection in May 2024. The property has maintained a consistent occupancy level of 6 units since its construction, and while there have been three housing maintenance code violations issued in 2024, the nature of these violations varies from safety-related issues to general maintenance concerns.
