Augrented Insights Report for 578 East 17th Street

The 103-unit, 6-story building at 578 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Leah Berkovits, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with the most significant problems relating to water leaks, mold, and plumbing concerns. Between April and June 2025, there were several emergency complaints regarding water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), unsanitary mold conditions, and plumbing issues including problems with sinks and various appliance malfunctions.

The building has also faced recurring elevator service issues, with multiple complaints filed in late 2024 regarding single-device service and no alternate service, though inspections in January and November 2024 found no violations. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with bedbug infestations reported in multiple units between 2019 and 2024, and rodent activity consistently noted in inspection reports throughout 2023-2025.

There have been several emergency housing maintenance code violations issued in 2024, including a C-class violation for a rodent infestation in a specific apartment (5J), as well as problems with self-closing doors and other building maintenance issues. While many of these violations have been closed, some recent complaints, such as the water leak and mold issues from May 2025, resulted in violations that required correction. The building's age (built in 1938) and documented history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and pest control, though many past violations have been resolved through compliance actions.
