Augrented Insights Report for 1532 38th Street

1532 38th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building in Borough Park, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Sholem Kestenbaum. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints documented between 2020 and 2024, including two emergency complaints in July 2024, several violations related to inadequate heating in units 2L and 2R, and problems with scalding water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees.

Recent violations from July 2024 remain open, concerning paint and fire retardant material issues in the vestibule, as well as problems with self-closing doors at the building entrance. The building has a history of identified safety concerns, including window guard issues in 2020 that generated violations.

Between 2019-2020, there were several Department of Buildings complaints regarding the property, including illegal parking violations and concerns about building stability, with one ECB violation issued in September 2020 regarding disrepair of exterior walls with multiple cracks. While the building has been free of bedbug infestations in all reported years from 2019 to 2024, the ongoing heating system problems and recently identified vestibule maintenance issues suggest some persistent maintenance challenges.
