Augrented Insights Report for 217 East 16th Street

The 4-story, 16-unit tenement building at 217 East 16th Street in Flatbush, owned by Charles Rosenwasser and constructed in 1915, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2024 and 2025. Most concerning are the repeated pest control issues, with multiple sanitary condition violations related to pests recorded in 2024, including active infestations of roaches in Apartment H and multiple pest complaints between February and September 2024.

The building has also faced significant water-related problems, with two separate water leak complaints (heavy flow and slow leak) in June 2024, along with associated paint and plaster damage. Recent violations from November 2024 included safety concerns such as defective window guards in Apartment D, security door issues, and self-closing door malfunctions at building entrances.

While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, the overall pattern of repairs suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with several complaints indicating access issues for inspectors in early 2024, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems, electrical wiring, and various unsanitary conditions. The most recent service request in May 2025 involved a window frame issue that resulted in violations being issued, though HPD was able to inspect and address the problem.
