Augrented Insights Report for 616 East 21st Street

616 East 21st Street is a 6-story, 53-unit residential building located in Flatbush, built in 1927 and currently owned by Naftali Hager. The property has experienced recurrent maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaints in September 2024 regarding pests and an electric/gas range, both of which HPD was unable to inspect.

Notable recurring problems include multiple heat/hot water complaints (most significantly in December 2023 and January 2024 affecting the entire building), two heavy water leak incidents (January and June 2024), and several pest-related issues. The building has also shown persistent plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment E4, which was cited in August 2024 for multiple violations including pest infestations (roaches/mice), water leaks, and electrical problems. The building's violation history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, including a current active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.

Previous years have shown improvements with complaints regarding fire safety (fire door adjustments) and hallway conditions being addressed by early 2024. The property has undergone rodent inspections between 2018-2019, passing in two instances and failing once for "Other Reasons." A bedbug incident was recorded in late 2024, marking the first occurrence since 2021. The building's history shows regular interaction with housing authorities, suggesting ongoing monitoring and periodic maintenance responses, though recent complaints indicate some challenges with inspection access and resolution verification.
