Augrented Insights Report for 540 Rockaway Parkway

540 Rockaway Parkway is a 4-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Brian Shalit. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in January 2024 and January 2025 affecting the entire building.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including multiple complaints about leaks (slow, damp, heavy flow) between 2020 and 2021, and a mold issue reported in May 2020. The building's maintenance record shows several inspection findings requiring attention, including water leak repairs and plaster/paint maintenance issues in Apartment 2A, and a faulty sprinkler system in 2019.

More recently, in June 2025, a significant incident occurred involving debris risk, leading to a partial vacate order and the issuance of a structural non-compliance violation due to extensive fire, smoke, and water damage throughout the building. Prior to this, the building was noted to have its fire escape and window air conditioning unit issues addressed, with violations certified as corrected in late 2023. Positive maintenance indicators include zero recorded bedbug infestations over the past six years and successful rodent control measures documented in 2012, though initial rat activity was noted during an August 2012 inspection.
