Augrented Insights Report for 290 East 56th Street

290 East 56th Street is a 4-story, 24-unit residential building in East Flatbush, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jay Lubin. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations on record. As of March 2025, there are ongoing concerns with water leaks and ceiling damage that HPD was unable to inspect in response to complaints.

The building has faced recurring problems with garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints between late 2024 and early 2025, though HPD found no housing law violations upon inspection. A significant heating and hot water issue affecting the entire building was reported in January 2025, with inspectors unable to access units for verification. The building has documented pest control challenges, with open violations from August 2024 indicating both mouse and cockroach infestations in Apartment 2B, along with water leak and plaster issues.

Previous bedbug infestations were recorded in 2019-2021 (affecting 2-3 units at times), but there have been no reported infestations in the past three filing periods from 2021-2024. The property has undergone several inspections related to Local Law requirements between 2020-2021, with no violations found during those audits, and a rodent inspection in March 2020 passed successfully. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding prompt response to tenant complaints and addressing identified violations.
