Augrented Insights Report for 590 Flatbush Avenue

590 Flatbush Avenue, a 16-story, 272-unit residential building constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Benjamin Baum, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability throughout 2025, with multiple tenant complaints documented between January and May of this year. Most recently, inspections in May 2025 addressed building-wide heat and hot water concerns, with HPD finding systems restored during inspections. The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, including an April 2025 complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that was found not to violate HPD housing laws, and a plumbing issue with the bathtub/shower that inspectors were unable to fully assess.

The property, which has undergone facade restoration work, experienced several construction-related safety violations in 2023-2024, including issues with scaffolding installation and compliance with safety regulations, resulting in fines. These violations have since been resolved. Apartment 17D was cited in December 2024 for multiple issues including carbon monoxide detector concerns and hot water availability, while a significant infestation issue was reported in Apartment 3P in December 2023.

The building has documented bedbug incidents in some years between 2019-2024, though zero infestations were reported in the most recent 2024-2025 filing period. Recent rodent inspections show passing results, though there was one "failed for other reasons" result in May 2023. The building's elevator systems have also been subject to multiple inspection complaints between 2022-2025, with some resulting in Oath Violations and others finding no violations at the time of inspection.
