Augrented Insights Report for 78 Hawthorne Street

78 Hawthorne Street is a 4-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Solomon Sayegh. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems, with two emergency complaints in 2025 and a significant building-wide incident in January 2024 that resulted in HPD violations.

Water-related problems have also been persistent, with both heavy flow and slow leak issues reported in early 2024, and multiple subsequent complaints about unsanitary conditions including pests and mold. The building underwent a violation inspection in March 2024 that revealed several issues requiring attention, including a leaking roof affecting multiple areas, electrical problems with exposed wiring in public hallways, and various maintenance needs in Apartment 4B. Historical records show that between 2018-2020, the building faced serious concerns regarding illegal transient occupancy, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to fire safety and egress requirements, though these were marked as resolved.

The building's maintenance history includes some positive points, notably showing no bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2025), and having passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2011. However, there remains an active violation regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, as of November 2019. The property has a documented history of inspection access issues, with multiple complaints closed due to HPD's inability to gain entry for inspection.
