Augrented Insights Report for 554 East 26th Street

The 44-unit, 6-story residential building at 554 East 26th Street in Flatbush, owned by Gezim Capani, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2021. Most recently, there are active electrical lighting complaints from March 2025, and construction-related lead dust concerns from July 2023 remain unresolved. The building has documented multiple pest-related incidents, including three pest complaints between 2023-2024 (with at least one violation issued in August 2023), and recurrent bedbug issues from 2021 to 2024, though these were reported as eradicated.

Notable violations include problems with fire safety systems in 2023-2024, particularly regarding fire escape ladders and self-closing doors, as well as carbon monoxide and smoke detector deficiencies in Apartment 5F. The building has experienced some critical infrastructure issues, including heating and hot water problems in May 2022, plumbing issues in 2022, and significant water leak problems in February 2022 that resulted in violations. The property has faced various compliance challenges, particularly regarding facade maintenance and safety inspections.

Several violations related to facade safety and inspection paperwork have been recorded between 2018 and 2024, with some violations being dismissed in late 2023, and one as a Cycle 9A violation related to "swarm conditions." Elevator service issues have been recurring, with multiple complaints and at least one official violation for single device service in 2021-2022. Recent inspection history shows a pattern of both resolving and recurring issues, with the most persistent concerns being related to building systems, pest control, and facade maintenance. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections under Local Law 188/17 and FISP (Facade Inspection and Safety Program) requirements, with some inspections finding no violations while others resulted in active concerns that required further inspection or correction.
