Augrented Insights Report for 5501 15th Avenue

The 6-story, 65-unit building at 5501 15th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Aaron Sirulnick and constructed in 1928, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple February 2025 and December 2024 emergency complaints. There are also significant water-related concerns, with heavy flow water leak complaints recorded in March 2025 and May 2025, along with associated Housing Maintenance Code violations.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges in 2025, including issues with pests (March 2025 violations), door/window problems (March 2025 violations), and multiple violations related to paint/plaster conditions. The building's elevator system has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2019 and 2023, leading to two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 and 2021 with associated fines totaling $1,875. Apartment 4I has ongoing maintenance violations from an August 2024 inspection, including issues with mold, lead-based paint, and bathroom tile repairs.

Bedbug incidents have been recorded annually from 2018 to 2024, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) showing infestations in 2 units. The building has also experienced periods of rodent-related problems, as indicated by failed inspections in 2016, though a subsequent inspection passed. The property's maintenance history suggests persistent building system challenges, particularly regarding water and temperature control systems, with an apparent pattern of delays in addressing various housing code violations.
