Augrented Insights Report for 388 Midwood Street

The 6-story, 88-unit building at 388 Midwood Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Joe Gugenhime, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern over recurring water-related problems. Most recently, in April 2025, there were reports of heavy water leaks, following multiple similar incidents earlier in 2025. The building has also had persistent elevator maintenance issues, with active complaints regarding multiple elevator devices as of May 2025, and a history of violations including a 2023 inspection revealing multiple safety concerns such as inoperative emergency lights and an inaccessible motor room.

In March 2025, the building faced several significant maintenance challenges, including electrical issues with no lighting, heating problems affecting the entire building, and multiple housing code violations related to paint/plaster conditions, unsanitary conditions including pests, and flooring issues. Specifically, violations were documented for walls, ceilings, and floors, particularly affecting Apartment 2D. Previous violations from December 2024 indicated problems with the building's fire escape system, requiring replacement of defective metal treads on the 4th and 5th story balconies. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with violations in 2024 noting hot water exceeding the maximum temperature of 130 degrees in Apartment 2D.

Additionally, the building has documented issues with pest control, including multiple instances of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit. Rodent inspections have shown varying results, with rat activity recorded in 2021 and prior inspections generally passing. The building's maintenance history includes various violations and service requests for plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance issues, though many have been resolved through inspection and correction processes. Active violations related to energy efficiency display requirements from 2021 and a past boiler-related violation from 2019 remain on the record.
