Augrented Insights Report for 505 Rockaway Parkway

At 505 Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville, a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement built in 1931 and currently owned by Saul Friedman, several concerning issues have emerged in recent years. Most notably, from May to June 2025, there was a significant and persistent problem with heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed during this period.

The property underwent inspections in late 2024 that revealed multiple safety concerns, including defective fire doors and safety equipment on the 5th story, with violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and various maintenance issues documented in Apartment E1. The building has also been subject to multiple investigations regarding potential illegal conversions between 2023 and 2025, though access was denied during inspections in several instances.

Additional concerning patterns have emerged, including an active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from 2023 regarding unpermitted work in the cellar and laundromat areas, and multiple rodent activity reports in 2023-2024 indicating persistent pest control challenges. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with building systems, particularly heating, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations related to heating system access and hot water supply. While the property has documented compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 and maintains a record of no bedbug infestations in recent years, the cumulative volume of maintenance and safety-related complaints, particularly regarding heating systems, suggests ongoing challenges with basic service provision.
