Augrented Insights Report for 623 East 5th Street

The six-story, 48-unit tenement building at 623 East 5th Street in Kensington, owned by Benjamin Schwartz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2025). The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems in May 2025, with multiple complaints filed and at least one still open as of May 20, 2025. There has also been a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with complaints filed in May and June 2025, though a subsequent July 2025 inspection showed compliance.

The elevator system has required attention, with maintenance complaints in June 2025 and a past single-device elevator issue noted in May 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various systems and conditions. Recent complaints include issues with plumbing, including water supply problems in May 2025, and multiple pest-related complaints. In 2021, several violations were documented in apartment C6, including problems with window locks, window sashes, plastered surfaces, and floor tiles.

Apartment 3B had violations in 2020 relating to water leaks, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and peeling paint. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from 2024 showing one affected unit, though previous years indicated higher infestation counts, particularly in 2021 (9 units). Environmental and safety compliance checks, including rodent inspections, have shown mixed results, though a July 2025 inspection passed. The property has also faced issues with building systems, including a boiler violation in June 2025 and an egress violation in May 2025, both of which were served as oath violations.
