Augrented Insights Report for 509 East 56th Street

The property at 509 East 56th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Winston Levy Levy, is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2007. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two separate complaints recorded in 2023 alone, most recently in October 2023, though HPD verified these conditions were corrected. The apartment (1F) has multiple open violations as of 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, pest infestation, and various unsanitary conditions.

Between February and April 2023, multiple inspections were conducted regarding these issues, with some violations being cited while others were not. The building has significant historical compliance issues regarding its Certificate of Occupancy (C/O) status, with multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2022, and an open violation from March 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements. Several inspections during this period noted occupancy without a valid C/O, with associated penalties totaling $55,000.

Additionally, there are numerous open violations related to immediately hazardous conditions, dating back to 2019. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2012, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons. Regular maintenance and safety compliance appear to be ongoing challenges for this property, with multiple open violations and penalties indicating systematic compliance issues.
