Augrented Insights Report for 409 East 21st Street

The 24-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 409 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by Jack Garber and constructed in 1918, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in June 2025, there were violations issued for unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. In 2024-2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including mold, floor problems, plumbing issues, and ceiling concerns, with HPD inspections often being unable to complete their evaluations.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with complaints about leaks in 2024 ranging from slow leaks to heavy flow conditions. Two apartments (D3 and D6) were specifically cited in November 2024 inspections for having water temperature exceeding the 130-degree Fahrenheit maximum requirement. The building underwent an important safety inspection in December 2024 that revealed several violations requiring attention, including locked doors preventing access to fire escape routes (class B violations in apartments D3 and D6), a defective carbon monoxide detector in apartment D4, and various maintenance issues in apartment B6 including problems with bathroom tiles and toilet caulking.

The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control efforts, with regular rodent inspections showing mixed results between 2016 and 2023, though there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years. Historical complaints from as far back as 2022 include electrical wiring concerns and egress issues, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The building's systems maintenance records from 2019 show some permit activity for plumbing and electrical work.
