Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

61 Clarkson Avenue, a 6-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 2021 and owned by Sholom Dekhkanov, has experienced recurring heat/hot water issues in mid-2024, with emergency complaints filed on July 21 and July 23, though both were promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building, located in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, underwent significant construction activity prior to its completion, with multiple violations and complaints related to construction safety compliance and site conditions in 2022, including three Oath Violations Served on October 17, 2022, and a Stop Work Order regarding debris/ building conditions issued on August 31, 2022, which was later fully rescinded.

The property has a documented history of immediately hazardous violations requiring certification correction, especially during its early months of operation. Between 2020 and 2023, there were multiple instances of failure to certify correction on Class 1 violations, including at least eight such violations documented between 2020 and 2023, though most were either dismissed or paid off through invoices. The Department of Buildings conducted several inspections between late 2022 and 2023, with some resulting in Oath Violations Served related to construction safety compliance. While the building has demonstrated responsiveness to recent heating issues, the pattern of construction-related violations and the clustering of recent heating problems may warrant monitoring for recurring maintenance patterns.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.

City enforcement actions (past 7 years)

Environmental Control Board violations — formal city enforcement actions with associated fines.
