Augrented Insights Report for 2501 Newkirk Avenue

The 54-unit, 4-story tenement building at 2501 Newkirk Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Jacob Katzenstein, has experienced a range of significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of mid-2025, there are active concerns regarding water management, with multiple service requests between May and June 2025 documenting plumbing issues including a water leak with heavy flow. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, evidenced by multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests, particularly in June 2025.

Safety concerns are highlighted by several recent emergency maintenance code complaints regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in June 2025, though these were subsequently closed. The 2024-2025 period shows continued attention needed for building systems and maintenance, with violations related to lead paint hazards in Apartment D15 from a November 2024 inspection. There have been multiple housing maintenance code complaints resolved in mid-2025, including issues with doors, windows, and plumbing.

The Department of Buildings has documented structural concerns, with a February 2025 active violation noting rotten floor joists and water damage in the basement. Previous violations from 2020-2021 regarding plumbing, electrical systems, and gas piping installation were resolved, though the building has experienced recurring rodent activity, as seen in multiple inspections from 2024 to 2025. The building's maintenance history also includes several dismissed violations related to immediate hazardous conditions, suggesting previous serious issues with building systems and safety equipment. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, the building's recent service requests and violations indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety.
