Augrented Insights Report for 55 Argyle Road

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 55 Argyle Road in Flatbush, owned by Yehoshia Sturm, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent months as of July 2025. The most pressing current concerns include ongoing problems with rodent infestations, with multiple inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity despite bait application efforts. Recent complaints from June 2025 also revealed potential health hazards, including an asbestos complaint and confirmed rodent issues, with follow-up inspections scheduled.

The building has faced repeated challenges with moisture-related problems, evidenced by multiple complaints and violations concerning water leaks and mold, though HPD inspections have generally found these conditions not to violate housing laws. Additional maintenance issues have included problems with heating systems, electrical outlets, and various interior conditions, though most of these complaints have been closed without violations being issued. The building's violation history reveals several outstanding concerns as of mid-2025, particularly regarding lead-based paint hazard compliance for multiple apartments (D5, C3, C6, and A6) identified during an October 2024 inspection, as well as a safety violation related to a refrigerator stored in the 3rd-story public hall.

The property has also been cited for not maintaining clean conditions in the building's exterior spaces during a November 2024 inspection. While there have been periodic heat and hot water complaints, these have usually been resolved promptly, though similar complaints appeared again in early 2025. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the past several years. The property also has one active violation regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements from December 2024.
