Augrented Insights Report for 957 Flatbush Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 957 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Zipeng Chen, has experienced significant and recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints filed between January and August 2024. During this period, there were at least 10 HPD complaints related to heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, most of which resulted in either closed complaints due to lack of access for inspections or temporary resolutions.

Notably, the building had multiple instances of non-access to units for inspection purposes during the April-May 2024 period, though one inspection in January 2024 reportedly showed no violations. The property has some historical concerns worth noting, including two class 1 violations of the NYC DOB in 2018 and 2019 for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions, though one of these was dismissed.

In 2020, there were complaints regarding illegal conversion and plumbing issues, with the former resulting in an Oath violation being served. More recently, as of the end of 2024, the building has a clean bedbug report with no infestations or treatments reported for the 2023-2024 period, which represents a positive aspect of the building's current condition despite the ongoing heat/hot water challenges that have continued into 2025.
